Media speculation over Marcus Rashford’s omission from Manchester United’s starting line-up against Crystal Palace has made Erik ten Hag ‘really nervous’, journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The Dutch tactician’s decision to leave the 26-year-old out of his first eleven to face the Eagles on Saturday was questioned by fans and pundits, with Sky Sports analyst Jamie Redknapp wondering whether something had happened behind the scenes to prompt it.
During the post-match press conference, Ten Hag revealed the decision was purely rotational and suggested it was ‘crazy’ to infer any signs of Rashford being dropped from the starting XI for the Premier League encounter.
A day after the 0-0 stalemate at Selhurst Park, Romano took to his YouTube channel to shed more light on the situation at Man United and Ten Hag’s decision to bench the in-form attacker.
