If I don’t start Him,is still the same Man united fans that will come for my head, yesterday that I started Him you all can see how He disgraced the badge”, Erik Ten Hag says fans should not come for His head this season when He finally start benching their star figure after His embarrassing performance yesterday

Yesterday, Erik ten Hag stressed that Manchester United fans shouldn’t hold him responsible if he chooses to bench a star player after a poor performance. He highlighted that the same fans who criticized him for not starting the player would now witness the embarrassment caused to the team.
Ten Hag remains optimistic that Marcus Rashford will regain his form once he starts scoring again, downplaying concerns about the player’s confidence. Last season, Rashford’s performance dropped significantly, going from a 30-goal season to only eight goals. His struggles continued in the Community Shield, where a late one-on-one chance against Ederson resulted in the ball hitting the post, leaving Rashford visibly upset.

Despite these challenges, Ten Hag assured that Rashford’s confidence isn’t the problem and that the goals will come: “No, he doesn’t have a confidence problem. He was in good positions several times, and I’m happy with that. He’ll keep finding those moments, and eventually, he’ll score. He’s experienced enough to deal with this; once he gets one, more goals will follow.” Erik ten Hag has expressed his determination to make tough decisions regarding team selection, emphasizing that fans shouldn’t hold him accountable if he benches a star player following a poor performance. He pointed out the inconsistency of fans who may criticize him for not starting certain players, only to then witness the team’s struggles when those players don’t perform well.

In the context of Marcus Rashford, Ten Hag remains confident that the forward will rediscover his scoring touch despite a noticeable dip in form. Last season, Rashford’s goal tally dropped from 30 goals to just eight, and his struggles were evident in the Community Shield match, where he missed a crucial one-on-one opportunity, hitting the post and showing visible frustration.

However, Ten Hag downplayed concerns about Rashford’s confidence, expressing optimism that the goals will eventually come: “No, he doesn’t have a confidence problem. He was in good positions several times, and I’m happy with that. He’ll keep finding those moments, and eventually, he’ll score. He’s experienced enough to deal with this; once he gets one, more goals will follow.”
