Marcus Rashford has admitted he considered leaving Manchester United before Erik ten Hag took charge of the club.
Rashford scored a career-best 30 goals last season in Ten Hag’s first campaign in charge and signed a new five-year contract earlier this month.

Rashford, 25, admitted leaving his boyhood club was a realistic prospect at his lowest ebb, with his representatives having held talks with Paris St Germain. But Ten Hag’s arrival proved the difference, with the Dutchman’s man-management helping Rashford to his best-ever season at Old Trafford.

“I’m hungry to keep improving, for the players and the staff to keep improving and getting used to each other, pushing ourselves to be better than we were the year before. Ultimately, that’s the only way we’re going to get back to winning trophies consistently.”
