Ten Hag also backed the move, saying his 27-goal forward deserved to have a “breather” following a gruelling run of fixtures.
“I think it’s positive that he was in a break,” Ten Hag said. “I think Rashford, along with Bruno Fernandes, was playing the most games of the whole squad.
“I think Manchester United is playing the most games all across Europe and our internationals are not mostly on the bench, mostly they are playing.
“So, our players play the most games and this is crazy season, so they also need times that they can have a breather and can collect energy.
“For me, it’s positive that he took that time to turn off from football. I have seen him back this week and he showed a lot of energy and a lot of motivation.

Ten Hag gave little away regarding contract negotiations with Rashford but was happy to hear left-back Luke Shaw is close to signing a new long-term deal.
“If he signed, I don’t know,” the United boss said with a smile. “I haven’t heard until now.
“John (Murtough, the club’s football director) didn’t inform me until now, so I have to wait for that. If it’s the truth, I would be really pleased.
“Definitely we want to keep him because he’s a really important player for our team.”
