‘Has to’: Journo reckons Ten Hag will have already decided to drop Rashford for ‘influential’ counterpart vs Liverpool

Manchester United travel to Anfield to take on bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday

Erik ten Hag is reportedly already decided on dropping Marcus Rashford to the bench for the game against Liverpool.

That is according to journalist Dean Jones, who believes the Manchester United boss will instead opt for Anthony Martial to lead the line for the trip to Anfield.

Rashford has been in poor form of late

Rashford has scored just three goals in his last 15 appearances for Manchester United, and has looked far from his best during that time.

His poor form has seen him lose his place in the England squad, and there are growing calls for him to be dropped from the Manchester United team.

Martial has been impressing in recent weeks

In contrast, Martial has been in impressive form for Manchester United in recent weeks.

The Frenchman has scored three goals in his last four appearances, and has looked sharp and dangerous.

Ten Hag is expected to make changes to his team

Ten Hag is expected to make changes to his team for the game against Liverpool.

The Red Devils boss is likely to be without the suspended Casemiro, and could also make changes in defence and attack.

Dropping Rashford for Martial would be a big call

Dropping Rashford would be a big call from Ten Hag, but it is one that he may feel is necessary.

Martial has been in better form than Rashford in recent weeks, and the Frenchman could be a key player for Manchester United against Liverpool.
