scored his 30th goal of the season in all competitions last time out, but manager Erik ten Hag thinks there is plenty of room for improvement and could score 40 in a campaign.
The 25-year-old has had comfortably the best goal-scoring season of his career so far, never scoring more than 22 goals in all competitions previously.
The Red Devils still have their final game of the season against Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday, followed by the final against Manchester City at Wembley the following week, so Rashford can add still further to his impressive tally.
Ten Hag is obviously pleased with how Rashford has done, especially after a disastrous season last time around which saw him score just five times, but says there is more to come from the England forward.
‘With Marcus, there’s a lot of room for improvement in his game and I’m convinced he could score even more,’ said the Manchester United boss.
‘I think when you take for instance the last ten games he didn’t score so many goals, I think only two or three.
‘He can improve but I’m happy where he was last season and what he did now and that he has brought himself back.
‘We supported him where we could with the way of play, but also in his mental mindset,” added Erik. So we are happy with that but yeah, we have to push for more.
‘I’m sure he’s capable of scoring 40 goals in the season and to make also for him the next step.’
Rashford is going into the last year of his contract with Manchester United, but Ten Hag is relaxed about the situation, expecting the forward to sign a new deal.
‘I expect Marcus Rashford to renew,’ the Dutchman told Viaplay. ‘He wants it. Manchester United wants it. He is a child of this club, so I assume this will happen.’
