In a recent statement, Shearer expressed concern over Marcus Rashford’s lack of shots on goal in his two games this season for Manchester United, highlighting the team’s low goal count last season. He also mentioned Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s arrival and the need for him to make an impact.

The coach’s decision to substitute a player was clarified as a tactical move rather than a reflection of the player’s performance. Ten Hag emphasized the team’s need for rotation and the presence of strong substitutes on the bench to inject new energy into the game.

Regarding possible transfers, Ten Hag remained evasive about any completed deals, particularly in response to questions about Sancho’s future with the team. He stressed the importance of having a strong squad with depth to accommodate the demanding upcoming schedule.

Additionally, Ten Hag mentioned the team’s plans to offer special promotions and advertisements to their community members and the option to opt out of the community at any time.
