Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has questioned Erik ten Hag's decision to play Marcus Rashford as a central striker following Sunday's 7-0 hammering at the hands of Liverpool.
United, who will be looking to get back on track when they face Real Betis in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie at Old Trafford on Thursday evening, capitulated in the second half at Anfield, conceding six times without reply. It marked their heaviest defeat in almost a century and left Ten Hag trying to make sense of an unforeseen collapse.
The Reds, who are still third in the Premier League table, had been the better side for long periods in the first half and had carved out the best chances. However, they failed to take them when they came their way.
