EPL: Ten Hag reveals player that will replace Ronaldo at Man Utd

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has backed Marcus Rashford to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit.

United and Ronaldo mutually agreed to terminate the 37-year-old’s contract in November.

This leaves Ten Hag with only Rashford and Anthony Martial as senior strikers in the squad.

Even with Ronaldo available for the first part of the campaign, United have struggled for goals.

They are the lowest scorers in the Premier League’s top eight with 20.

But Ten Hag believes Rashford, back from the World Cup where he scored three goals, can do the job.

“I think he is capable of scoring 20 goals in the Premier League.

“He got three in the World Cup so we know the potential to score those numbers in the Premier League.

“When you analyse the first 14 games or however many we are not a problem in the front line,” Ten Hag said.
