However, United only intended to rest Rashford and rotate their team, given they now have two games a week through to the next international break.

Ten Hag told reporters: "I didn't understand the criticism. People are not entitled to bring speculation.

"If I give an explanation they have to trust my words. If they don't, that's not right."
