Man Utd boss Ten Hag ponders reverting Rashford to central role

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he may revert Marcus Rashford to a central striker role.

Rashford has been playing off Wout Weghorst since the latter's arrival in January.

After Rashford scored in the 2-2 draw with Leeds, Ten Hag said, "It's difficult to analyse but I think after we make that change it's different for the opponent.

"It's difficult for the opponent because the dynamic changes.

"The defenders are in a certain way, they are anticipating a certain attack and then all of a sudden everything is changing.

"When we moved there, not only Rashford but we bring in (Jadon) Sancho and we bring in (Facundo) Pellistri. And that changes the game, as we did on Saturday as well. And we benefit from that situation, I think."
