Not Rashford, the Man United player that has impressed Erik Ten Hag

Manchester United did not have a decisive player this season until Rasmus Hojlund started to have a great run in form in the past weeks. Now, since the Danish striker was injured after the 2-1 win against Luton Town last month, the team suffered two defeats and won two games. Marcus Rashford has scored goals this season as he has 7 in 27 Premier League matches this season. The output is nowhere near the form he had last season, which is what the team is looking for.

Last season in the Premier League, Rashford scored 17 goals in 35 matches. He scored a total of 30 goals in 56 appearances for Man United last season in all competitions. Although the attack for Manchester United has been disappointing, Ten Hag has been impressed with one particular defender he didn't expect to do so well, along with the Manchester United fans. Ten Hag recently praised 36-year-old Jonny Evans.

Ten Hag said, "As you see, his performance across the season, he’s such an important player for this squad. [He will] always be there when he’s needed and give good performances. Oh yeah, [I have been] very [impressed]. We are so pleased we signed the fifth center-back because normally, you say: 'Why five center-backs in the squad?' But you see, we are so happy we did this.”

It's a great game for us and we are looking forward to that game. But Liverpool will be the same and will also look forward [to it] as, for them, it's also a very important game.
