Marcus Rashford has always been in Ten Heg's plans. So it's not just Man United fans who will be happy about this. But Ten Heg as a coach must also feel happy about this. Because I personally also can't imagine Man United's performance without Rashford. But as you said, Man United really needs a forward who can spearhead the match. Which can sharpen every attack they build. And currently there is one of the attacking players from Atalanta who is the target of Man United, namely Rasmus Hojlund.
Marcus Rashford was Ten Hag's mainstay player last season and his contribution was extraordinary in helping Manchester United attack. Marcus Rashford scored 17 goals in 35 Premier League appearances last season and he scored 6 goals in the Europa League in 9 matches. That's a fine goals stat for a striker who in the previous season only scored 4 goals in the Premier League in 25 appearances.
Ten Hag managed to turn Marcus Rashford into an important striker in his squad last season, so he deserves a contract extension until 2028. But then, I think Ten Hag also needs to bring in another striker to push more power in attack. Don't know who, but it's a priority they should think about.
