Rashford came under-fire for his performances at the end of the 2021-2022 campaign while playing under Ralf Rangnick. 

However, fans have been blown away by the England international’s improvement following the arrival of Ten Hag and heaped particular praise on his goal-scoring prowess.  

Rashford scored Man United’s third goal in the 78th minute of their 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory last week.

Van de Beek has also turned his fortune around under the new Manchester United manager – providing an assist for Rashford’s goal against the Eagles. 

The goal against Palace came off the back of some impressive build-up play. Anthony Martial plucked the ball out of the air, turned and played it to Sancho. 

Sancho slipped it back to Martial – who picked up the ball fire yards away from goal and played it to Van de Beek. 

Van de Beek remained composed in possession and fired it across the box to Rashford – who was left unmarked.  

The England international tucked it away to see Manchester United go 2-0 up in the game that they ultimately won 3-1. 

Fans have taken to social media to praise the ‘Ten Hag effect’ at the club – claiming he has got Rashford and Van de Beek ‘cooking’. 

One supporter took to Twitter to write: ‘You know Ten Hag ball is in full effect when Donny and Rashford are cooking’. 

Another added: ‘Rashford wow what a goal’ after watching his effort against Crystal Palace on Tuesday. 

One fan added: ‘Great play from Anthony Martial and Donny Von de beek to set up Rashford!!’ before putting ‘Donny’ alongside two fire emojis.   

While another supporter wrote: ‘They [United] look great! Ball is flowing nicely, playing high press, Martial, Sancho, and Rashford look confident. Need some minor adjustments but I think our new signings will be able to fix that.’
