Erik ten Hag has a "lot of sympathy" for struggling Marcus Rashford and says everyone needs to get behind the misfiring Manchester United forward.

The 26-year-old produced a career-high 30 goals last season and was rewarded with a big-money new deal until 2028 over the summer, but his form has dropped off markedly since then.

Rashford has managed just eight goals in 40 appearances for his boyhood club, with his output criticised by onlookers and some fans booing him in last Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Coventry.

The England international told the Players' Tribune in February that "if you back me, good" and "if you doubt me, even better", but he feels criticism has overstepped the mark.

Responding to a post on X that called the treatment of Rashford "absolutely disgusting", "cruel" and "abuse", he said: "I appreciate your support! It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough."

That post at 12.36am on Friday was put to his manager in the press conference around 13 hours later.
