Ten Hag praises ‘constant threat’ Rashford after League Cup win

United boss Erik ten Hag has hailed

as a “constant threat" after the English striker scored Man United’s second goal against Burnley, helping the Red Devils to a Carabao Cup quarter-final.

Eriksen opened United’s account on the night in 27th minute before Rashford made it two for United. The 25-year-old went on a great run moving past Jack Cork and Jordan Beyer before firing the ball into the bottom corner, scoring his 9th goal of the season.

"He was great. I think he was a constant threat and playing on the backline and was dangerous with his dribbling and movement. He runs so much. Eventually you get the benefit,"

Ten Hag told Sky Sports.

In regards to the overall performance of his team, Ten Hag added:

"It was difficult to get the press but we did. And we need to take more benefit from that. There is still room for improvement but I am pleased with the win. The players are hungry after the World Cup break. And it was great to see a team goal (for the first)."

Rashford has been in great form recently, scoring 3 goals in 5 England World cup matches and slowly rediscovering his best under Ten Hag.

The 25-year-old went on to give his own thoughts about United’s performance following the game, as he said:  

"It is good to play again. But it was a tough game and it was good to get a win to take into the next game. [The World Cup loss affects you] more emotions-wise because it was such a disappointing feeling to be knocked out and you have to pick yourselves up. There is no time to feel sorry for yourself. You need to pick up results and thankfully we did that today. It was fun to be out there."

With the Premier League back in force again next week,

will face Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
