Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has warned Marcus Rashford that he will be discussing his poor form with him.

Rashford's body language came under heavy criticism after a dreadful display against Newcastle.

Rashford barely had any involvement in the game as Manchester United suffered a 1-0 defeat at St James' Park on Saturday.

The Red Devils were outplayed in all areas of the field.

However, their performance in the attacking department was particularly abysmal, with both Anthony Martial and Rashford failing to put pressure on Newcastle's defenders.

Martial even had a heated argument with Ten Hag on the field, responding to criticism from his manager.

Both players were substituted in the 60th minute, just moments after Newcastle scored their winning goal through Anthony Gordon.

But it was Rashford who faced the majority of the criticism, with pundits and fans expressing their frustration at his performance.

Ten Hag has vowed to address Rashford's form in private, stating to TNT Sports: "I will talk to him and not the media.

"I know this issue is being discussed, and Marcus is putting in a lot of effort. We support him, and he will regain his form.

"I will repeat myself: he works hard and puts in a lot of effort. He will bounce back, and he has our full support.

"I won't go into individual performances."

TNT Sports pundit Jemaine Jenas was highly critical of Rashford.

He said: "I think it was poor, I think his body language was shocking throughout the game, I really do.

"There have been too many moments like this, with him throwing his arms about.

"It almost feels like he's sending a message to his manager, like 'I don't want to play out here'.

"He's looking at [Alejandro] Garnacho on the left, and it's criminal to put your team under that type of pressure by not fulfilling your duties as a wide man and tracking back.

"It's clear that [Tino] Livramento knows Rashford doesn't want to follow him. Rashford is never there, and this happens time and time again.

"He has no interest in tracking back, and [Harry] Maguire and [Luke] Shaw are constantly having to come to the rescue due to the incompetence of the wide players."
