Erik ten Hag has refused to talk to the media about Marcus Rashford's performance following Saturday's 1-0 loss at Newcastle.
The England international has registered just two goals and two assists across 13 Premier League matches this season, leading to United legend Paul Scholes slamming Rashford after his showing at Newcastle.
Ten Hag is now reportedly planning a private chat with the player in light of his poor performances.
"I will talk to him and not the media," Ten Hag said about Rashford in his post-match interview on TNT Sports.
When asked about United's overall performance in the match, Ten Hag said: "We had a tough first half and said at half-time we were pleased to be in the game. We had a good comeback in the last part of the game. We will talk tomorrow with the team about it."
He went on to add: "We go back, we will talk about this and move in to Wednesday. As I said, I will talk with my team. We had some chances. We thought we scored a goal but it was offside. We could have scored. This team is resilient. We have seen it after City. We had a bad defeat and we stick together. We have a plan and we keep going."
It is clear that Ten Hag is determined to help Rashford regain his form, showing his loyalty to the player. His private talks with Rashford will be essential if the Manchester United star is to get back on track and prove his worth to the team.
