Garth Crooks has backed Erik ten Hag's decision to drop Cristiano Ronaldo for Marcus Rashford because he's 'part of Manchester United's past'.
Ronaldo, 37, has started just one Premier League game this season and that was last month's 4-0 loss to Brentford. The Portuguese has featured in all six of United's fixtures so far, although most of those appearances have been from the bench without scoring.
Rashford, meanwhile, has started all of United's games this term. The 24-year-old played on the left of the front three in the defeats to Brighton and Brentford but has been deployed as a centre-forward for their last four games - all of which were won by Ten Hag's side.
