‘Madness’… Tony Cascarino stunned by Ten Hag’s decision on 28-year-old Manchester United star vs Bournemouth
Tony Cascarino has admitted that he cannot believe that Anthony Martial continues to start for Manchester United, insisting that trying to rest Rasmus Hojlund would have been madness from Erik ten Hag.
Cascarino was writing 🍎for as he suggested that ten Hag does not have the luxury of being able to rotate his squad for future gaಌmes right now.
Saturday’s clash at Old Trafford is going to be etched in the memory of Manchester Uni♑ted fans for years to come. Thಞey suffered their third 3-0 loss at home of the season. And it was Bournemouth who got the result.
Tony Cascarino baffled by Anthony Martial starting for Manchester United
Erik ten Hag surprised many ahead of the game, starting Anthony Martial up front. Martial has now scored 12 league goals since the start of the 2020/21 season. And his form has come in for a l🧸ot of criticism over the las🔯t few years.
So it was not a ♛shock to most when he endu🌜red a torrid afternoon. And he came off for Hojlund just 11 minutes into the second-half.
Hojlund did not score, al⛦though he should have been given the chance to by Dio🗹go Dalot. Nevertheless, Cascarino admiไtted that he cannot understand ten Hag’s starting lineup.
“What more is there to say about Manchester United? Tꦆhere is so much wrong at that club, with nothing left of the great old winning machine,”⛎ he told .
“There are so many things I’d like to ask Erik ten Hag but chief among them would probably be: why on earth is Anthony Martial still starting games? Were they resting Rasmus Hojlund with one eye on Bayern Munich on Tuesday? If so, that’s madness. Ten Hag doesn’t have that luxury. United are a sinking ship and ꧅need all hands at the pump.”
Success this week unlikely to lift much of the gloom surrounding Old Trafford
It does feel as though we are at ꦓthe stage where even getting through in th🌳e Champions League is hardly going to bring the Manchester United fans a lot of joy.
Ultimately, it is clear just ꦯhow many problems the club are dealing with right now. And thus, reaching the knockout stages of the 🔥Champions League – as brilliant as that would be – would solve little.
The worry is that it is hard to know what can be done in the short-term to turn this season aroun🎃🤡d. They sit sixth in the Premier League, but can surely expect to slide further down on current evidence.
And they need something special to go through in the Champions League th🍃is week.
Clearly, if Cascarino had one piece of advice ahead of the clash with Bayern, it would pro﷽bably be to make sure that Martial is not in that starting liꦜneup.
