Erik ten Hag calls Marcus Rashford one of the 'best strikers in Europe' after scoring his 13th goal in 15 games against Leeds on Sunday, but warns the 25-year-old he cannot afford to 'lose focus'

Erik ten Hag hailed Marcus Rashford as one of the best goal scorers in Europe and then warned Manchester United’s in-form striker not to get lazy if he wants to keep up his remarkable form.

Rashford broke the deadlock in United’s 2-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road with his 13th goal in 15 games since returning from the World Cup.

It’s the best record of any player across Europe’s top leagues, and Ten Hag agreed that the 25-year-old is among the best on the continent.

‘He's definitely one of them,’ said the United boss.
