Carabao Cup: Ten Hag makes demand from Rashford after 2-0 win over Burnley

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has urged Marcus Rashford to continue his World Cup form as the domestic campaign resumes.

Rashford scored a stunning solo goal as United saw off Burnley 2-0 in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday.

It was his first game for the Red Devils since returning from England duty at the 2022 World Cup.

The 25-year-old got three goals in Qatar and Ten Hag is hopeful the forward is at the beginning of a purple patch.

“I think he is on a very good level,” Ten Hag told a news conference on Wednesday.

“His performances are improving a lot from game to game and I hope and expect him to keep going with his performance level.

“I think he invested a lot with runs behind the defending line and he scored a great goal with the dribble and a great finish, I think he is in great form and I hope he can keep his focus and performances.”
