Rashford last started a game against Newcastle and was slammed by fans and pundits alike for his lack of effort in the 1-0 defeat.

Alejandro Garnacho was brought in for the following match as the Red Devils beat Chelsea.

The youngster has started every match since but some United fans feel it is time for Ten Hag to stop benching Rashford.

One supporter criticised the United boss saying: “Watching Garnacho start over Rashford is just criminal.”

Another added: “This Alejandro Garnacho over Marcus Rashford experiment has to stop. It’s enough.”

A third wrote: “There’s no reason Garnacho should be starting over Rashford.”

And another commented: “I don’t care what form Rashford is in, I don’t care how good the bicycle kick was. Garnacho is awful in the final third and needs benching.”

Garnacho was criticised by some for his wastefulness in the final third after he squandered a brilliant opportunity to put United 1-0 up at London Stadium.

The winger was put through on goal by Antony but fired straight at goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, and it proved costly as United lost the game 2-0.

It is the type of chance Rashford would usually gobble up but instead the 26-year-old had to watch on from the dugout.

All eyes were on the forward ahead of kick-off however thanks to his new haircut, with Rashford dying his hair orange.

The England forward did eventually come off the bench early in the second half, replacing Rasmus Hojlund – who again failed to end his Premier League goal drought.
