Erik ten Hag insists he will "talk to" Marcus Rashford about his dismal Manchester United form.

Roy Keane and Alan Shearer might not be renowned as best buddies on the circuit - but they both think Marcus Rashford needs to find something from within to rekindle tip-top form.
Everything that Rashford touched turned to goals last season as he recorded a career-high 30 in all competitions, while the forward credited Erik ten Hag for reigniting the fire in his game. However, the England regular has found the net just once since the restart and looks short on confidence.
That has not been the case with England, though, as Rashford and his other Old Trafford stars prepare for another international break. It's over to Gareth Southgate and the Three Lions to help revive him.

England managed to do exactly that last month when the 26-year-old performed and grabbed an important goal during their victory over Italy at Wembley that rubber-stamped a place at Euro 2024 next summer. That strike was trademark Rashford, too, as United wait for their own familiar glimpse this season.
"What we're looking at is someone who clearly looks very unhappy," said former England captain Shearer during a blunt assessment for Premier League Productions after the Luton game. Rashford drew his latest blank against the Hatters to make it 15 appearances for United and one goal to show for his efforts this campaign.
"He looks moody and when that's the case you're never going to perform at your best," added Shearer. "We're not seeing a happy footballer, you're not seeing a happy person at this moment in time in Marcus Rashford. He looks a different player for England than he does for Manchester United."
