At 0:30 on September 22, for the 5th round of the Premier League, Manchester United traveled to face Crystal Palace. Before the game, head coach Ten Hag talked about the starting lineup in an interview.
When asked why Rashford was on the bench, Ten Hag said, “This is a simple question. We need to rotate because we have so many games to play. We also need to give Garnacho playing time. We’ve seen his contributions; he has scored many goals and provided many assists, yet he has only started once this season.”
Regarding the return of injured players, Ten Hag said, “Yes, some of the injured players are back, but they are not fully recovered yet. They also need some game time to find their best rhythm. They are not yet capable of playing a full 90 minutes, but it’s great to have them back in the squad.”
“We will integrate everyone gradually, just like with Ugarte, who also needs time. Hojlund did not participate in pre-season training, and Mount is back as well, which is a good sign. We need them because there are still many games to play this season.”
