Gareth Southgate's decision to omit Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho from his latest England squad perfectly highlights the magnitude of the task that Erik ten Hag faces at Manchester United.
The United pair were an integral part of the Three Lions side that reached the Euro 2020 final last summer but within 12 months, they're not even a part of the 27-man squad for the upcoming Nations League doubleheader against Hungary and Germany.
In fairness, their form didn't warrant a call-up from Southgate but not many would have predicted such a rapid fall from grace. Sancho has mightily struggled since making the move from Borussia Dortmund a year ago, while Rashford's form has been equally as poor as both players have found themselves on the fringes for the majority of the campaign.
