Following back-to-back Premier League defeats previous to the worldwide break, Erik ten Hag’s facet picked up their second win of the season with a largely comfy 3-0 win away to Southampton on Saturday.

It wasn’t a classic efficiency from the Pink Devils, nevertheless it was sufficient, and with a League Cup tie towards League One facet Barnsley to come back tonight, they’ve the possibility to show a promising consequence into the start of a great run.

Nevertheless, given the character of the competitors and the variety of video games on the horizon, Ten Hag ought to look to make just a few modifications to his beginning lineup and drop one in all his greatest stars, who took fewer touches than Andre Onana over the weekend.

Why Rashford needs to be dropped

Sure, the participant who needs to be dropped to the bench for tonight’s sport is Marcus Rashford.

Now, the very first thing to say is that the Englishman was truly fairly spectacular towards the Saints on Saturday, and whereas he touched the ball 31 instances to Onana’s 40, he was nonetheless awarded a 7/10 by ESPN’s Adam Brown for his ‘well-placed end’ within the first half.

Furthermore, as soon as he had scored his first purpose of the season, the Manchester-born ace started to look extra harmful, so why should not he be concerned from the beginning tonight?

For instance, in his 5 appearances up to now, the Madrid-born dynamo has discovered the again of the web twice and supplied one help for good measure, that means he is presently averaging a purpose involvement as soon as each 1.66 video games.

There may be an argument that, just like the Englishman, the 5 foot 11 dynamo needs to be rested for a supposedly simple sport, however with so many wingers at his disposal, the supervisor has the luxurious of handing out extra minutes to a participant who’s undoubtedly set to turn out to be one of many membership’s subsequent huge stars.

In the end, Rashford needs to be rested for the match tonight, and whereas there are another choices Ten Hag may decide, he ought to carry Garnacho again into the beginning lineup as he may add just a few extra objectives to his already spectacular tally this season and assist the membership coast into the subsequent spherical.
