Manchester United fans have taken to social media to praise Erik ten Hag for making Marcus Rashford and Donnie van de Beek ‘fire’ during their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
The Red Devils beat both Liverpool and Melbourne Victory before recording a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace in their pre-season friendly at the MCG on Tuesday.
Rashford and Van de Beek have been instrumental in the club’s success this summer – scoring goals and providing assists against Melbourne Victory and Premier League counterparts Crystal Palace.

Rashford came under fire for his performances at the end of the 2021-2022 season while playing under Ralf Rangnick.
However, fans have been delighted by the England international’s improvement since Ten Haag’s arrival and have praised his goalscoring ability in particular.
Rashford scored Manchester 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 fortunes around under the new Manchester United boss – providing the assist for Rashford’s goal against the Eagles.
The goal against Palace came from an impressive play. Anthony Martial plucked the ball out of the air, turned and played it to Sancho.
Sancho slipped it back to Martial – who lifted the ball away from goal and played it to Van de Beek.
Van de Beek remained calm in possession and laid it to Rashford – who was unmarked.
The England international scored to see Manchester United take a 2-0 lead in a game they eventually won 3-1.
Fans have taken to social media to praise the ‘Ten Hag effect’ at the club – claiming it has made Rashford and Van de Beek ‘cook’.
One supporter tweeted: “You know the Ten Hag ball is in full force when Donny and Rashford are cooking.”
Another added: “Rasford 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” next to two fire emojis.
While another supporter wrote: “Them [United] they look great! The ball flows nicely, he plays high press, Martial, Sancho and Rashford look confident. It needs some minor adjustments, but I think our new signings will be able to fix that.
