Marcus Rashford: Erik ten Hag says he is not happy with Man Utd forward's form but says he will find goals soon

Erik ten Hag says both he and Marcus Rashford are not happy with the Manchester United forward's form this season - but the United boss is confident that his striker will return to scoring goals soon.

Rashford, who scored 30 goals in all competitions last season - has scored just once since the start of the season, with United enduring their worst start to a campaign since 1974, after nine defeats in the opening 17 games.
