Ten Hag explains Rashford decision

Erik ten Hag has explained the reasons behind naming Marcus Rashford as a substitute for the game at Crystal Palace.

The homegrown forward has looked sharp in his last two games, scoring against Southampton before claiming a brace in the 7-0 Carabao Cup beating of Barnsley on Tuesday night.

However, with so many options available to the boss, he has decided to replace Rashy with Alejandro Garnacho, who also scored twice in midweek.
