The ex-PSV boss is expected to contribute significantly to Manchester United’s attacking play, particularly in the final third. He has been emphasizing the importance of utilizing their wingers more effectively, with promising players such as Alejandro Garnacho operating from wide positions.

Rasmus Hojlund’s performance in the previous season demonstrated his ability to pose a threat in the box, which could serve as motivation for United’s attacking training sessions. Manchester United faced challenges in scoring goals last season, being the joint lowest scorers in the Premier League’s top ten, with only 57 goals.

Ten Hag is optimistic that Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has a notable scoring record during his time at the club, can help the forwards regain their top form. He highlighted that Van Nistelrooy’s contribution goes beyond just the strikers, and mentioned Marcus Rashford’s potential to further prove himself.

Rashford, who has already achieved significant goal-scoring milestones at a relatively young age, was not part of the pre-season in LA due to the extended break given to players who participated in the Euros semi-finals. It is expected that he will join the team at Carrington the week before the Community Shield on August 10.
