United came from a goal down to beat the Bees 2-1 at Old Trafford. Second-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund overturned Ethan Pinnock’s opener to ensure the Reds clinched all three points.
While he didn’t get on the score sheet, Rashford ran the show for his side, especially in attack.
He delivered a pin-point cross to Garnacho for United’s equaliser and was a constant threat all game. His display was even more impressive, considering he primarily featured on the right wing.
Rashford now has one goal and one assist in eight Premier League appearances. He has managed four goals and three assists in 12 matches across all competitions.
The England international still has a bit of work ahead to reach his peak form, but he’s definitely making good progress toward it.
After the final whistle, Ten Hag spoke to the media [via Manchester Evening News] and had his say on Rashford’s exploits against Brentford.
The Dutchman said, “Really enjoyed today how he played. You see what he is capable of. We want to see this every game, because then you see what he can contribute to the team.”
“Really intense and then a brilliant cross. I thought the finish was also brilliant but the cross was really enjoyable to watch.”
“I think we all know he is capable of a lot and when he has this attitude then he will score, as he did in Porto. But also giving assists, what he did in Porto and did today.”
