Ten Hag: Rashford contract a priority
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag has told Sky Sports that signing Marcus Rashford up to a new deal is a priority.Rashford's contract at Old Trafford is up in the summer of 2024 and Ten Hag is desperate to keep his top scorer, who has 22 goals in all competitions already this season.
“Of course [Rashford’s new contract] is a priority," Ten Hag said. "We are working on that, just sit and wait, but in the background we work hard. Of course [we have to keep him].”
He added: “I think the team is in a good place and Marcus is definitely in a good place. We are happy with his performances. He is in such good form. You can keep that if you keep the right energy and put the right investment in.
"Every game you have to take it as a new game. And you know at the moment that when Marcus comes into the position that he will score. When he is happy it gives him energy and a positive mood and then the goals will come. He has such great skills to score goals.
“I don’t know [if he wasn’t happy last season]. On the first day I met him, I told him ‘I want to see your smile, I want to see your teeth and then it is OK’. We see it often and I think he is in a happy place and the whole dressing room is in a happy place and I think it is good."
