Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville was baffled by interim manager Ralf Rangnick's decision to leave Marcus Rashford out of the starting line-up for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester City at Old Trafford.
Despite Cristiano Ronaldo being forced to miss out through illness and Edinson Cavani being unavailable through injury, the German decided to deploy Bruno Fernandes as a false-nine, as opposed to including Rashford in the starting line-up. The England international was the only senior striker available for selection and was, not for the first time recently, overlooked.
United, who earned a share of the spoils through Fred's fourth goal of the season, were toothless in the first half and looked bereft of an attacking threat. Ronaldo had netted a hat-trick in United's last Premier League outing and his absence was telling.
