Erik ten hag will speak to Marcus Rashford about his form after the Manchester United star\u2019s latest flop in the defeat at Newcastle on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Rashford was recalled to the line-up after missing the Champions League draw with Galatasaray in midweek through suspension, but made little impact before he was substituted just after the hour mark at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n
Last season\u2019s 30-goal top scorer has found the net just twice this term, and his lack of effort and negative body language were a concern once again.<\/p>\n
\u2018I will talk to him and not the media,\u2019 Ten Hag said tersely when asked about Rashford.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don’t go into individual performances. I knew this issue was coming up and Marcus is investing a lot. He will return to his form, he will recover and he gets all our support.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Marcus Rashford produced another concerning performance against Newcastle on Saturday evening<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The United winger struggled to impress as he was comfortably marshalled out the game by Newcasltle<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag explained he will speak to Rashford in private rather than address his concerns in the media<\/p>\n

United were thoroughly outplayed by a superb Newcastle at the end of a week in which they faced Everton and Galatasaray away, and Ten Hag insists his players will bounce back.<\/p>\n
\u2018This week, it was not in our advantage but we will take it as it is,\u2019 he added. \u2018Today we have to give the credit to Newcastle. They were better than us, they were more proactive.<\/p>\n
\u2018I will talk with my team about the reasons but we have to do better. If you lose, you are always unhappy but I\u2019m sure this team is resilient, we have to pick this up.\u2019<\/p>\n
Ten Hag was involved in a spat with Anthony Martial at half-time. \u2018It’s not about Anthony Martial, it\u2019s about the team,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n
\u2018I try to energise the team and try to get a reaction from the team in this moment. We had a tough period and when you’re coaching you are a little more aggressive, so that’s normal.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
United manager Ten Hag backed Rashford to return to form despite his worrisome form<\/p>\n
Anthony Gordon\u2019s 55th-minute goal gave Newcastle a richly deserved win from a one-sided game as Eddie Howe\u2019s side moved above United in the Premier League table.<\/p>\n
Howe believes Gordon has a chance of an England call-up, saying: \u2018He is playing a very high level and he has been this season. He is getting the goals and you need the headlines if you are to force your way into the England squad with the competition.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, Nick Pope added to Newcastle\u2019s injury problems when he went off in the second half with a dislocated shoulder.<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019ll seek a specialist opinion but it doesn\u2019t look good,\u2019 added Howe.<\/p>\n
