“I can confirm…” – Fabrizio Romano reveals truth behind surprising Man United situation

The Red Devils endured a frustrating afternoon at Selhurst Park, being held to a goalless draw and slightly killing the momentum they had been building after recent improved results and performances.

Most notably, however, the in-form Rashford was left on the bench by Ten Hag, and only introduced later in the game, though Romano has played down any talk of this being something serious, or perhaps a row between the player and the manager.

Still, it is going to be a long season and players will need resting from time to time, while MUFC also have other quality options in the wide-forward roles, such as Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo.

Rashford is always someone who's going to get headlines, whether he's playing or not, but it seems that a bit too much is being made out of something very little here.
