With three goals in his last two games now, Rashford was also asked about improving his confidence and whether he can maintain his goalscoring form – the forward remains focused on our next test when we travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

“It’s too early to say but I hope so,” he added, referring to Ten Hag’s claim that the goals are now flowing for Rashford. “We now move on to the next game and rest, recover and focus on the next one.

“Football is football – sometimes you have ups and sometimes you have downs. We have to use these games to find momentum, find consistency and do your best to be at your best level in every game.”
