ERIK TEN HAG is being urged to keep faith with out-of-form Marcus Rashford.
The new Manchester United boss needs convincing that the misfiring 24-year-old forward should be part of his plans next season.
Ten Hag, who was pictured with agent Kees Vos leaving the club’s London HQ last night, has been discussing recruitment plans and wants a new striker to complement Cristiano Ronaldo.
But staff at the club are convinced that Rashford still has a bright future, despite his disappointing season.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been at pains to emphasise how good Rashford is in training — but remains at a loss as to why he cannot transfer that form to match days.
This season has seen his worst scoring return since breaking into the first team back in 2015-16.
Rashford has just five goals after netting 22 and 21 in the previous two seasons.
He is worried about his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup in Qatar in November.
His current deal runs until 2023 — with United having an option to extend by a further year.
Local lad Rashford had never wanted a move away from Old Trafford but did start considering it this season over a lack of starts.
