Alejandro Garnacho is currently in an unreal form for Manchester United. His performances have bedazzled the Red Devils fans. This has led to speculation about him starting over Marcus Rashford on the wing. However, manager Erik ten Hag dismissed that possibility as he backed the Englishman.
Marcus Rashford remains a very integral part of the Manchester United team. This is also the reason the 26-year-old signed a long-term contract with the club.

Erik ten Hag dismisses the possibility of dropping Marcus Rashford from the starting lineup
Alejandro Garnacho has picked up his form at the right time. After scoring a sensational goal against Everton, he also hit the net in the 3-3 draw against Galatasaray. Hence, in the press conference, a journalist asked ten Hag about Garnacho starting over Rashford.
But the Dutchman was quick to dismiss the idea, as he said, “You didn’t see our games? You make this your conclusion [that they both prefer to play on the left]. Rashy can play from the right, and he likes to play from the right, but he can also play through the middle and from the left, so he is really motivated.”
The Manchester United manager also pointed out that he played both of them together against F.C. Copenhagen and Everton. Rashford looked in good shape against Everton scoring a goal whereas he was suspended against Galatasaray. Garnacho has scored the first goal in both of the last two games. It looks like ten Hag is backing both of them as starters.

Regardless, the coach will need both of them on top of their game against
Newcastle United. This is because the Magpies dominated the Red Devils in their last meeting.ADVERTISEMENT

Erik ten Hag will look for revenge against Newcastle United
This is not the first time both sides will meet this season. United played against Newcastle in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford. They thrashed Manchester United at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ and deservedly won 3-0. Ten Hag’s side will now hope to retaliate at St. James Park. In their last four games, United have scored 10 goals. However, they must improve their defense to avoid a repeat of Galatasaray.
Manchester United are only one point ahead of Newcastle United in the Premier League. A win for them would mean a temporary jump to the 5th position ahead of Tottenham, whereas, a loss would mean that they could go down as far as the 8th position. So, the Red Devils have big things at stake.
