We want to construct best team in world - Ten Hag

Erik ten Hag was appointed as Manchester United manager in April 2022

Erik ten Hag wants to turn Manchester United into the best team in the world, with Marcus Rashford leading that transformation.

The Dutch manager addressed questions about Paris St-Germain's interest in England forward Rashford.

United have triggered the extension on Rashford's contract, which will now not expire until 2024.

"I would say this is the best place [for him] to be because we want to construct the best team," Ten Hag said.

"First in England, then in Europe, then in the world."

Rashford has scored nine goals in nine games since returning from World Cup duty in Qatar.

With 17 goals already this season, the 25-year-old has scored more than Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial - United's next highest scorers - combined.

"I think he understands Manchester United is his club but also, in this environment, he is playing his best football," Ten Hag added.
