The 25-year-old, a product of United’s youth system, signed a five-year contract with the club earlier this month.
Asked if he had thought about moving away from United before the previous season, Rashford told British media: “Before the manager came maybe a little bit.
“But it’s football, it happens. Everything is going to happen for a reason and he came to the club at the right time for me, the timing worked out,” he added, before explaining what had changed under Ten Hag.
“Freedom — we were just a little bit rigid in the past, sometimes you’re not enjoying your football and that was the case with me. I wasn’t enjoying my football as much as I should be, as much I was used to enjoying it.
“Because of that it influenced my performance and ultimately that’s how I am as a person; if I’m not happy then it’s difficult for me to play my best football.”
