Erik ten Hag says it was worth the risk of dropping Marcus Rashford to the bench for Manchester United’s win at Wolves to ensure a lack of discipline did not “blow back” on the manager’s plans for the club.
The forward, who scored his 13th goal in 24 appearances this season in Friday’s 3-1 FA Cup victory over Everton at Old Trafford, overslept before the Premier League game on New Year’s Eve and the United manager felt compelled to act. “Maybe it is a risk but if you want to develop something to create a winning attitude and culture you have to go this way,” Ten Hag said.
