Marcus Rashford out of the squad receiving Chelsea in Old Trafford

Manchester United’s coach Erik Ten Hag surprised the media and the fans in the last few hours by leaving on the bench the Mancunian striker Marcus Rashford, who had bad performances in the last few games and completed in this way his worst week with the Red Devils.

In this sense, the English striker wasn’t able to start for the Red Devils in their home game against Chelsea in Old Trafford on the fifteenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season, which really shocked the fans. Rashford hadn’t been benched in a great game this season, but Erik Ten Hag proved that everyone in the squad could be benched, even their great Mancunian start.

In this sense, the striker was replaced in the line up by the Brazilian winger Antony, who was placed on the right while Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho filled the rest of the forward line positions against the Blues, who arrived to the game with the inclusion of the young English playmaker Castledine as the main news in the squad.

Pochettino also punished Badiashile

The West London team also presented changes in the defense, as Pochettino also punished Badiashile for his errors in the Blues’ previous game against Brighton, which made Chelsea conceding two goals against the Seagulls.
