Erik ten Hag says Manchester United have no intention of selling Marcus Rashford this summer. (More Football News)
After signing a new five-year deal after hitting 30 goals last season, the 26-year-old academy product has scored just seven times in a poor campaign for all connected to the club.
Rashford was this week again linked with a move to Paris St Germain, which could provide United with a huge windfall at a time of Premier League profit and sustainability considerations.
It would represent pure profit on that front as he is a homegrown player but Ten Hag says financial benefits are outweighed by the importance of the forward to the future.
바카라We didn바카라t re-sign him last season for (five) years with the intention to sell him, no,바카라 Ten Hag said.
바카라He should be part of this project, so that is not a subject we talk about.바카라
Ten Hag was speaking ahead of Sunday바카라s crunch FA Cup quarter-final against rivals Liverpool 바카라 a match that may go some way to deciding whether the manager remains part of the now Ineos-led project.
Injury-hit United have endured a tough season and need to overcome Jurgen Klopp바카라s side at Old Trafford to keep their last remaining hope of silverware alive.
They sit sixth in the Premier League and face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League but Ten Hag hopes Sunday can act as a catalyst to transform their season.
바카라Actually, we never got to turn around so far,바카라 Ten Hag said. 바카라We had our opportunities, but we missed the opportunities (to turn things around).
바카라Sunday we have another good opportunity to get the momentum. I think the players, the team showed lately from January on we are in a very good series of games with a lot of wins, so they have to believe they can do it. Now we have to take the momentum.
바카라That is also what I feel when I train with them, during and around the games; that they have that belief, a good confidence, good spirit is there in the team. Go and play and get the turnaround.바카라
United are underdogs heading into the quarter-final but Ten Hag expects to be boosted by the return to fitness of Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The latter is set to return after two months out, with centre-back Maguire and striker Hojlund back after missing three and four games respectively.
바카라We had a good week,바카라 Ten Hag said. 바카라The players you mention returned on the pitch. Partly at the start of the week and today we had a session and they were all training.
바카라I think (they are available). We have tomorrow one session. Of course, we have to see how they recover from this but it looks good.바카라
Ten Hag also provided a positive update on Mason Mount 바카라 who has been kept out for four months with a calf issue 바카라 and says Tom Heaton is back with fellow goalkeeper Altay Bayindir out.
바카라Tom Heaton is back as well,바카라 he said. 바카라Also, it was very good Mason Mount trained also (the) whole week with us.
바카라First part of the week also partly but then also he had some full sessions with us, so it바카라s looking good.바카라
Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia remain sidelined, while Jonny Evans has been dealing with calf and thigh problems recently.
United said 바카라his game-time has been carefully managed바카라, which is why he has not been included in Northern Ireland바카라s squad for their March internationals.
