Ten Hag was referring to United’s 2-0 win over Burnley in the Carabao Cup back in December, though Rashford actually only scored once.

The interviewer was apologetic after Ten Hag’s comeback, saying ‘my bad’, before Ten Hag nodded in agreement and continued: ‘Yeah. Marcus Rashford is scoring from everywhere. It doesn’t matter if it’s from the right, in the centre or over on the left.
‘He’s scoring from everywhere and today he showed it again.’
United now face Leeds immediately again at Elland Road – the result of a weird fixture quirk – and Ten Hag admits he could field Rashford through the middle from the off this time.
Asked if Rashford could lead the line from the start on Sunday, the Dutchman replied: ‘First off, this game, we analyse it, we will reflect on this game. Then we will see how the team is and then we will start our efforts.
‘I’m very pleased Marcus is scoring from all the positions. You see his stats, he’s scoring from the left, right, middle. It doesn’t matter. He’s always a good option to play on the right. We can move him around and give a different dynamic in a game.’

He added: ‘It’s difficult to analyse but I think after we made that change it’s different for the opponent, it’s difficult for the opponent, because the dynamic changed. The defenders are in a certain way.
‘They are anticipating on a certain attack then all of a sudden everything is changing, where we moved not only Rashford but we brought in [Jadon] Sancho and we brought in [Facundo] Pellistri. That changes the game as we did Saturday as well then he takes benefit from that situation, I think.’
United were once again without Anthony Martial against Leeds, who has picked up another injury issue, though Ten Hag insists he still has faith in the Frenchman.
