Man Utd news LIVE: Erik ten Hag at risk of implosion as dressing room problems emerge | Football | Sport
Wayne Rooney has branded Erik ten Hag‘s decision to continue rotating his Manchester United centre-backs as “crazy.”
The Old Trafford legend also pinpointed the widely criticised withdrawal of Marcus Rashford as a bemusing call.
“The changes he’s making, you never see teams, or top teams, changing the centre-backs during the game, or the back four. I think that happens on a regular basis,” Rooney told The Overlap.
“And the Rashford one was, it’s the best I’ve seen Rashford play for a long time, against Porto, and to take him off and say, ‘we’ve got another game at the weekend’, at half-time, I think it’s absolutely crazy.
“We’ve all played Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, whatever it is. So, if you can’t do it, then I don’t know.
“You’re now on the international break, I guarantee you on this international break, you’ll see videos of Rashford training with a coach away from the training grounds. So you can’t do two games in a week?”
