After a tumultuous start to the season, Marcus Rashford’s form is finally back on track. The Manchester United player has been in the form of his life, scoring crucial goals and leading his team to victory. Fans and analysts alike are praising his renewed confidence and determination on the field. With his impressive performances, Rashford is proving to be a major force to be reckoned with and is cementing his status as one of the top players in the league. With the season heating up, the return of Rashford’s form couldn’t have come at a better time for Manchester United and their fans.

There is no coincidence that the return of Rashford’s form and hitting even higher levels is in part due to Erik ten Hag. The Dutch manager’s emphasis on attacking football and using possession as a tool has benefitted Marcus Rashford’s goal output and performances in general. The role Rashford plays down the left, his movement in key offensive areas, and his consistent improvement with scanning are all attributes we can see as areas leading to his explosive form.
