Erik ten Hag reignites his row with Jamie Redknapp and says he 'it's not right' that pundit 'didn't trust' his explanation for dropping Marcus Rashford

Erik ten Hag has doubled down on his criticism of Jamie Redknapp after the Sky Sports pundit questioned his reasons for dropping Marcus Rashford at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Redknapp claimed that something must have gone on behind the scenes after Ten Hag spoke about the importance of Rashford having the right lifestyle in the build-up to the game and then benched him for the goalless draw at Selhurst Park despite having scored three goals in his two previous games.

Ten Hag rounded on Redknapp after the game, branding his comments ‘crazy’, and was asked about it again at Carrington on Tuesday when he spoke ahead of United’s Europa League tie against FC Twente.
