Ten Hag was quizzed on the 25-year-old's poor form ahead of Brentford's visit to Old Trafford and the Red Devils boss admitted that Rashford “is not in the same levels” as he did last season.

FOOTBALL Ibrahimovic on how his Ferarri and Messi led to a fall out with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona
The former Manchester United, Barcelona, and AC Milan striker joined the Catalan club amid much fanfare in 2009.
"Now, he is a little bit struggling but it will pass because everyone knows the qualities. Everyone at Man United backs him, the whole team supports him and believes in him, so I am sure with that confidence and belief with the team behind him this will change and this will pass.
"Strikers, when they don't score for a moment, they need one goal and then they step over. It will come, he is so experienced and he knows that as well. When he is doing the right things and the team is doing the right things, the momentum will come and he will be on fire."
Rashford has two goals from our four Premier League meetings with Brentford. He scored in the capital in January 2022 and bagged the only goal of the game in the 1-0 victory at Old Trafford last April.
The Manchester United number 10 has been named in the England squad for the upcoming internationals with Australia and Italy.
