"Internal disciplinary": Ten Hag confirms why top star is dropped for crucial Wolves game
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford will not play from the start of his side’s game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
When the lineup came out, Rashford’s name was shockingly not included with Alejandro Garnacho coming in for the Englishman.
The decision was puzzling to say the least, with Rashford currently in terrific form and enjoying his most productive spell in recent memory.
Rashford scored in both of United’s games against Burnley and Nottingham Forest.
He also registered an assist in the Forest game, for Anthony Martial‘s second of the game.
Speaking to the press before the game, Ten Hag confirmed that Rashford was not named in the starting XI due to “internal disciplinary” reasons.

The United boss did not offer further explanation on those reasons, leaving a lot up for speculation.
On starting Garnacho ahead of Rashford, Ten Hag said, “We have a good team and Alejandro [Garnacho] comes in.”
“He did really well in the last couple of games and made huge progress.”
“I am expecting him to contribute and expecting him to bring his skills.”

Alongside Rashford, the other player conspicuously missing from the starting XI is Harry Maguire, with Ten Hag preferring to deploy Luke Shaw in the left-centre-back role for the second time in a row.
The Dutch coach reiterated that the United skipper is still recovering from an illness that sidelined him from the Carabao Cup game against Burnley.
Ten Hag however added that Shaw’s inclusion is not based on Maguire’s illness alone but also motivated by tactical reasons, with the full-back a better fit against Wolves.

Ex-CEO reveals why "abnormal" starlet rejected United's insanely superior financial package
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham turned down a move to Manchester United in 2020 to prioritize his development as a player.
United offered the greatest financial package by far but Bellingham turned them down and chose a move to Signal Iduna Park over Old Trafford.
This is according to Ex-Birmingham CEO Dong Ren, who revealed that despite United’s aggressive charm offensive, Bellingham and his family did not make their decision based on money.
“Ed Woodward [then United CEO] was the most insistent. We sat down and talked about how we could convince Bellingham. But Jude didn’t make any decisions based on money.”
“They offered much more salary compared to the rest. Maybe double. He was going to have guaranteed millions in the bank and he did not take them. That’s not normal for a player at all.”
“He chose Dortmund over Bayern despite not being sure to win titles and money. He put all that behind his development. How many players would do that? Because nothing is guaranteed at Dortmund. It might not have turned out well.”
Ren detailed how United sought the services of some of the club’s legends to try to lure Bellingham to the Theatre of Dreams.
First, the teenager sat down with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He then had a meeting with Alex Ferguson before United arranged for the youngster to talk with Eric Cantona.
Ren added that he could have persuaded Bellingham to join United, who had offered almost three times more than any other suitor and were offering the Blues a better offer.
He however let Bellingham and his entourage make their own decision due to the loyalty he showed them. Birmingham retired the number 22 shirt after Bellingham left for Germany.
The 19-year-old will be on the move this summer with a number of Europe’s elite clubs expressing interest in him, among them United.
However, the 20-times Champions face an uphill battle to convince the Englishman to join their ranks, as they did two years ago. Some of the other clubs that are known admirers of Bellingham include Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City.

United "ready to pay" big money as club braced for "crazy" record offer - report
Despite strengthening their midfield in the summer with the addition of two superstars, Manchester United are still interested in improving their midfield.
There have been constant links with the likes of Erik ten Hag‘s favourite midfielder Frenkie de Jong as well as England superstar Jude Bellingham.
The World Cup ensured Argentina’s Enzo Fernandez is now the hottest property ion world football and naturally the Red Devils have been linked with a move.
Enzo, a player in demand
According to Correio da Manhã, United are “ready to pay” to sign the Benfica ace as the race for his signature heats up.
As reported earlier, a lot of Premier League clubs are chasing the 21-year-old’s signature. Liverpool have been mentioned as possible suitors while Chelsea are also in the race.
However, his release clause is a mammoth €120million, which will be nearly impossible for the clubs to pay in January. Recent reports had even suggested that despite the price tag, United had edged ahead in the race.
The report mentioned that super agent, Jorge Mendes, has been ‘gathering’ proposals and is trying to secure his client a move to England.

While Benfica would like to hold on to the jewel in their crown, if a club were to pay the clause in full and should the player be willing to move, there is nothing the Portuguese giants can do.
Benfica are almost resigned to losing their midfield magician but there is a growing belief within the club that they will break their record set by João Félix’s departure in 2019, when they cashed in €126 million.
Big money move to happen soon
Another outlet Record mentioned that it is only a matter of time before Mendes arrives with a €120m bid. They also mention that club president Rui Costa will be presented with a “crazy offer” for the World Cup winner.
Interestingly, they have added that Benfica have already received a €100m offer from an unnamed party for the 21-year-old, which was immediately refused.
Even more surprisingly, O Jogo have revealed that Costa has already received two proposal for €127m and is holding out for bids in the region of €130m.
While Fernández’s departure is an ‘inevitability’, Benfica are already working on replacing him with Racing Club de Avellaneda midfielder Carlos Alcaraz a potential option.

After "difficult" spell, this United star is finally "ready" to push on
One Manchester United new summer recruit whose initial contributions have been swept under the carpet in recent weeks is Tyrell Malacia.
The Dutchman’s arrival was not filled with the usual hype and it happened so fast that fans were left in shock. But the full-back from Feyenoord was a specific request from Erik ten Hag who was a big admirer from his Ajax days.
And while his start was slow, he soon showed his ability on the pitch and made five straight starts in the Premier League following Luke Shaw‘s horror show in the opening two games.
But a disappointing performance against Manchester City saw him lose his place and he has had to do with a one appearance in an unfamiliar right-back position in the league since.
Malacia was solid initially
Apart from on-pitch heroics, Malacia has helped hugely in Shaw regaining his hunger and appetite. He has pushed the Englishman all the way, which has brought out the best in Shaw consistently.
He has also shown his versatility, playing at right-back on a couple of occasions and even doubling up as a centre-back for his national team.
To be successful, every club needs such team players willing to sacrifice for the good of the side and never complaining about the cards they are dealt with.
Got to say fair play to this lad.
Never started a game before the WC, even when he was available Erik played Malacia RB vs Fulham.
The boy didn’t complain, or even say a bad word. Kept on training hard every single day & is now delivering to a high standard. Team player.👏 pic.twitter.com/GeoxgxPxHj

Ten Hag has spoken out about his love for players who have the positional awareness and discipline to occupy multiple positions in a team.
Despite being picked in the Dutch national team for the World Cup, the 23-year-old failed to play a single minute and returned fresh for club duty.
He has started in both post World Cup games for United in his favoured left-back slot and has impressed with his ferocious displays.
And the Dutch full-back revealed how frustrating an experience it was to stay out of the starting line-up.
Malacia making a difference both on the pitch & in training
“It is of course difficult when you are not allowed minutes,” he told ViaPlay, relayed by Voetbal Primeur.
“You keep hoping every game and you do your best at training. You try to support the team as much as possible, but it’s definitely difficult.
“I want to play every game, so yes, it’s definitely hard when you sit there for so many weeks and you don’t play. Sure, I’ve had a moment of I’m through for a while.
“But you always have to recover. You never know if you have to be there. You always have to be ready.”
Malacia has made a total of 17 appearances in all competitions, starting in 14 of them. Not the worst stats to have in your debut season in the Premier League.
And now that he is back, hopefully, Malacia can push Shaw all the way, something that can only be positive for United going forward.

United could make audacious swoop for surprise English star after "contract delay"
Erik ten Hag’s desire to mould his Manchester United team in his own image is well underway with quite a few changes having taken place after their summer splurge.
The defence has been transformed thanks to the arrival of Lisandro Martinez from Ajax while Casemiro and Christian Eriksen have proved to be revelations in midfield.
While consternations remain over the lack of firepower up top, it is between the sticks that Ten Hag is most worried about for the long-term future of the club.
GK conundrum at United
David de Gea has been an exceptional servant to the club during his decade-long stay but while his shot-stopping remains superlative, it is in other areas that he continues to lack.
Modern goalkeepers all are required to be comfortable with the ball at their feet and have the ability to play as a sweeper-keeper when required.
For far too long, De Gea’s weakness while playing out from the back and his tendency to remain rooted to the spot has held back the Red Devils.
And the Dutch boss had made it abundantly clear that he wants a change, even if the Spaniard were to stay on at the club for the long term on reduced wages.
🚨 Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United are all considering a move to sign Jordan Pickford from Everton.

A lot of goalkeepers have been linked with a move to Old Trafford including the likes of Jan Oblak, Diogo Costa, Yann Sommer and Odysseas Vlachodimos.
One surprising name that was mentioned back in the summer and has once again been found a mention ahead of the January transfer window is that of Everton shot-stopper Jordan Pickford.
According to The Daily Mail, “England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s Everton future is in doubt, with the club yet to sign off on the new five-year contract he agreed before the World Cup.
Pickford emerges as surprise candidate
“Word of the delay has alerted the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea.”
Apparently, the England No 1 had agreed a five-year new deal before going to Qatar but the contract is yet to be signed off by the club for some unknown reason.
“The delay is at boardroom level, and not with the player. Sources have expressed surprise that the contract remains with the club’s owners, when a swift resolution had been expected before Pickford left for Qatar,” the report further added.
While Tottenham are looking at a long-term successor for Hugo Lloris, 36, Chelsea have struggled to find a reliable stopper in recent seasons.
It is written that United could possibly fund this strange switch by moving on on-loan goalie Dean Henderson, currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.
