Rashford
has
scored
eight
goals
in
the
last
eight
games
and
is
United’s
top
scorer
this
season.
The
England
international
is
averaging
a
goal
every
124
minutes,
having
netted
17
in
28
appearances
from
12.8
expected
goals
(xG).
Rashford’s
deal
is
up
in
2024,
but
Ten
Hag
is
confident
a
new
contract
will
be
agreed.
“This
is
the
best
place
to
be
because
we
want
to
construct
the
best
team
–
first
in
England,
then
Europe,
then
the
world,”
said
Ten
Hag
ahead
of
Wednesday’s
EFL
Cup
semi-final
first
leg
against
Nottingham
Forest.
“It
is
confidential,
talks
between
clubs
and
players,
[but]
he
understands
Manchester
United
is
his
club
and
also
in
this
environment,
this
team,
he
is
playing
his
best
football.
“He
is
improving,
he
is
giving
100
per
cent.
“He
can
bring
his
qualities
and
this
team
can
help
him
be
in
the
right
position
to
score
goals.
The
team
is
constructed
so
that
his
qualities
come
to
the
fore.
“He
knows
he
is
important
for
us
and
if
we
want
to
succeed,
we
need
him.”
While
Rashford
is
thriving
on
one
side
of
United’s
attack,
Antony
–
a
big-money
signing
from
Ajax
last
year
–
has
struggled
after
a
fast
start
to
his
career
in
England.
Ten
Hag
is
not
concerned,
though.
“He
is
not
losing
games,”
the
Dutchman
said
of
the
Brazil
winger.
“He
is
playing
and
the
team
is
winning
and
that
already
gives
a
message
of
how
well
he
is
performing.
“He
can
do
better.
I
see
space
for
improvement,
and
we
want
him
to
be
more
direct.”
