Ten Hag Confident in Rashford Despite Shield Loss

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed confidence in Marcus Rashford despite his missed opportunities in the FA Community Shield loss to Manchester City. Rashford, who struggled last season with just eight goals, missed two critical chances in the match, which ended 1-1 before City won 7-6 on penalties. Ten Hag believes Rashford's positioning and efforts are promising and expects him to regain his scoring form soon. Rashford's place in the starting lineup is under scrutiny with new signings and returning players. Ten Hag also highlighted the importance of squad depth and upcoming potential transfers to address current team deficiencies. Manchester United will start their Premier League campaign on August 16, while City will face Chelsea.
