Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are over-reliant on Rashford

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has admitted that his team has a Marcus Rashford dependency following the victory over Brentford. 

The England international scored the only goal for the Red Devils in their 1-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League.

In a tightly contested game, Marcus Rashford's strike in the 27th minute was the only goal in the game, and it lifted Manchester United back into the top four.  

Following the game, the Dutch manager of Manchester United was asked if he thought there was a heavy reliance on Marcus Rashford, and he affirmed.  

Ten Hag said it was the truth when questioned, agreeing to their overreliance on Marcus Rashford but saying there are other players in the squad he can look to for goals.  

Rashford has scored 15 of the Red Devils' 42 Premier League goals this season, a whopping 35.714 per cent.

Ten Hag admitted to the fact, however, and says players like Bruno Fernandes, among others, can also come up with the goods.

Also, Manchester United were in a rut, and they had failed to win any league game since February, which coincided with the four-game suspension of Casemiro.

The Manchester United boss, Ten Hag, in speaking about his team's form before the win against Brentford acknowledged the importance of the Brazilian, but says the team have to find ways to win games.  

They lost against Liverpool, drew against Southampton, and lost to Newcastle, which saw them drop out of the top four. 

They have missed Eriksen due to injury and Casemiro due to suspension in that run, which, as was admitted by Ten Hag, has had an effect on the team's performances.

However, he believes that the other players have to step up, saying they have to find ways to win even without players as important as the Brazilian and the Dane.
