The Englishman made a slow start to the Premier League campaign but got on the scoresheet against Southampton with his first goal since March in their FA Cup victory over Liverpool.
He followed that up with a brace against Barnsley in the EFL Cup last Tuesday, also registering an assist, with Ten Hag claiming Rashford was returning to his best form.
However, Rashford unexpectedly started on the bench in their 0-0 draw at Palace, with Amad Diallo favoured on the wing, though the 26-year-old came off the bench in the 61st minute for Joshua Zirkzee.
Some pundits questioned Ten Hag's choice, but the Dutchman shrugged off any ideas of a problem.
"I didn't understand the criticism. People are not entitled to bring speculation," Ten Hag said.
"If I give an explanation, they have to trust my words. If they don't, that's not right."
