Erik ten Hag believes Marcus Rashford can be 'unstoppable' if his attitude is right ahead of Sunday's Manchester derby.
The Manchester United and England international forward is set to start up front for Ten Hag's team against Manchester City on Sunday at the Etihad. Rasmus Hojlund will miss the game due to a muscle injury while Anthony Martial remains sidelined because of a groin complaint.
Rashford has had an inconsistent campaign for United having scored five goals and provided six assists in all competitions so far this season. The 26-year-old's stats have declined compared to last term's 30 goals and 11 assists which played a key role in the club's Carabao Cup win and third-placed league finish.

But United boss Ten Hag has backed Rashford to fill the void left by the injured Hojlund, who had scored in six consecutive league games before his injury. The Dutchman pointed out the 'many goals' he has previously scored against Man City side at the Etihad.

"Against the best defenders in the world he is able to score and it's just about him, if he has his attitude right on Sunday, he is unstoppable that is just about him and of course, we have to serve him. It's a part of it, but in all the games, also against City, he had big chances to score goals and also he scored goals, many goals against City and especially I think in the Etihad."
