Erik ten Hag explains Marcus Rashford decision for Manchester United vs Sevilla fixture

Erik ten Hag has not started Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw for Manchester United's match against Sevilla because they're currently short of match fitness, but he's also admitted that both players could still have a role to play from the bench.

Rashford sustained a muscular injury in a win against Everton earlier this month, but he returned to first-team training at Carrington on Wednesday afternoon, which was the final session before the squad flew to Spain to take on Sevilla.

Although the forward took part in that session, he's been named on the bench at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, with Antony, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho retaining their positions in the starting side after the weekend.
