Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has slammed the speculation surrounding his decision to drop Marcus Rashford.
The Dutch tactician made the decision to bench the England international for the clash against Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.
The Red Devils ended up playing to a goalless draw at Selhurst Park after missing a host of chances.

Former Liverpool star Jamie Redknapp suggested 'there was something untoward' with Rashford after he was dropped, something which Ten Hag refuted after the game.
"I heard already speculation from some pundits - that's crazy. I would almost say as a person you are not OK when you bring such speculation if you don't know what's up. This is just rotation.
"And we have many games to cover and we can only start 11 players, but we have to give all the players - if they perform - the chances and finally, of course, we will find out the players who perform better and they will play more.
"But this, it had nothing to do [with this]... I'm very happy with Marcus, with everything - defending, offensive, he scores in this moment and performs very good. So it was nothing to do with why he was on the bench, just rotation.
"I have to say Amad is playing very good, Garnacho almost all the games so far, maybe apart from Liverpool, he has end product, so also we have to play them as well."
