Hojlund is a sure starter in Tuesday&#8217;s Champions League clash against FC Copenhagen, but Marcus Rashford&#8217;s position could be in jeopardy amid an eight-match goal drought.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford has scored just once this season, failing to build on his career-best 2022\/23 campaign, in which he netted 30 times.<\/p>\n<p>His struggles have contributed to United&#8217;s toothless attack, winning by more than one goal just once in their opening 12 games.<\/p>\n<p>Hojlund has scored three goals, all coming in Champions League defeats against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Ten Hag suggested that Hojlund&#8217;s backup striker, Anthony Martial, could actually feature alongside the 20-year-old Dane due to his ability to play on the wing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They can play together because Anthony Martial is also available to play from the side,&#8221; Ten Hag explained in his press conference.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ten Hag backed Rashford to join Hojlund in adding more goals to United&#8217;s arsenal once his new-look attack starts to gel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click\u00a0<\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong>\u00a0to join our Man Utd WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag &#8216;considering dropping Casemiro for Manchester derby'[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-boss-Erik-ten-Hag-spoke-ahead-of-Tuesday-s-Champions-League-clash-with-Copenhagen-5027743.jpg?r=1698061593844\"><\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;First of all, we have to work our routines. He missed pre-season and the first four games, but I think from the moment he came in, he gave the team a lot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re building the routines, and that split moment will give him more time to make better decisions for more goals. But the goals against Galatasaray were two brilliant goals &#8211; as well as the one in Munich.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s a player who will always be in scoring positions in our team.
