Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag retains full confidence in his attacking personnel.

Rasmus Hojlund is yet to score in the Premier League.

But Ten Hag said: "If you score in the Champions League five times, you will score also in the Premier League, it's just a matter of time," the Dutchman said.

"As long as we, as a team, are creating the chances, and as long as he is convinced, I believe he will start scoring goals."

On Marcus Rashford, the manager said: "He has proven it across all his career. He's scored more than 100 goals already in the Premier League.

"He scored last season; 30 goals, so there will come a moment in this season that it clicks."

He continued: "I think every striker, in the moment, has a period that he is not scoring.

"And then every striker starts to [over] think and when it happens, you know you were right and then you missed a moment because you have only a split moment.

"In the Premier League, Champions League, opponents defend so well, not only as individuals but as a team.

"You have to take benefit from that split moment to make it count that you have that half-a-yard split second and score a goal."
