What Erik ten Hag said about Rashford
The former Ajax coach said players like Rashford face challenges and need resilience.
"Marcus Rashford has also experienced, he knows when there are setbacks, how to get fightback, how to set his career, his performance. He took control of it and I think he is on the way back.
