Marcus Rashford has committed to repairing his strained relationship with Erik ten Hag after the Dutchman was confirmed as Manchester United’s manager for the upcoming season.

The forward, who struggled with goal-scoring last season and delivered several disappointing performances, faced criticism for his off-field conduct, including attending parties after significant defeats and missing training due to illness, which were followed by late-night club exits. Consequently, Rashford incurred a two-week fine from his £350,000 weekly wages.

His poor form led to exclusion from Gareth Southgate’s preliminary 33-man squad for Euro 2024, leaving Rashford reportedly shocked and feeling he had built enough credibility.

However, Ten Hag’s continuation as United’s manager has rejuvenated Rashford, who scored 30 goals in the 2022/23 season. According to sources, Rashford was pleased with Ten Hag’s retention, despite their strained communication during the challenging season.

Rashford is reportedly determined to make a strong comeback and has stepped up his training regimen to prepare for the new season with Manchester United. He recently announced a temporary break from social media to rejuvenate mentally after a demanding season, thanking supportive fans and emphasizing United’s unity.

Sources close to Rashford affirmed his commitment to improving under Ten Hag’s guidance, acknowledging his underperformance and expressing his desire to regain top form and secure his future at the club.
