The club has been trying for six months without success to get Rashford to put pen to paper on a new five-year, £300,000-a-week contract.
But SunSport understands the 25-year-old forward is waiting to see what potential new owners of the club would offer him.
Asked why there has been a delay, Ten Hag said: “I know but I don’t talk about the process. Let the process go.
“Once again, this is not important at the moment for me or Rashy.
For him, it is to get more goals this season and he is playing a wonderful season — and the team is playing a wonderful season.
“We have to get into the Champions League and focus on that.
“Marcus wants to stay and we want him to stay, so I think we will find each other.”
Rashford is United’s top scorer this campaign with a career-best 29 goals.
