Manchester United stars are reportedly baffled by Ten Hag’s decision to heavily rotate his starting XI in recent weeks, with Marcus Rashford one of the players most often rotated out.

The Dutch coach made a su[rising call to rotate Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt out for Harry Maguire and veteran Jonny Evans for the 0-0 draw at Villa Park against Aston Villa.
