Marcus Rashford has spoken about a ‘massive movement’ under new boss Erik ten Hag which he feels will boost the club for the rest of the season.
Ten Hag took charge of Manchester United this summer, and heading into the World Cup break, his side are fifth in the Premier League after 14 matches.
If they win their game in hand, they will go level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham, while in the Europa League the Red Devils are set to face Spanish giants Barcelona after finishing second in Group E.
Rashford has been in good form this term following a tricky spell last season and has scored eight goals across 19 games under Ten Hag.
‘We’ve had some top performances and managed to build some momentum,’ the 25-year-old England international told United’s website.
‘It’s good to have that team spirit, we’ve had some really tough games as well.
‘Even coming back and getting a draw against Chelsea, they scored late on and we managed to get something out of the game rather than nothing.
‘I think moments like that, they’re massive and it can do massive things for you, not only now, but throughout the season.
‘[Ten Hag has] had a big impact, with a lot of changes. It takes some time to adapt for him and the players as well.
‘But so far, it’s been good. We’re enjoying working under him and we’re just looking forward to what the future holds.
‘Sometimes, it can take time. But the longer we’ve been working together, the more that we’ve understood what he wants from us on the pitch.
‘It just takes time on the training ground, and we have to keep working hard.’
United return to top-flight action on December 27 when they host promoted side Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
