Why Rashford and Harnacho were dropped

Rashford and Garnacho have been regulars on the Manchester United team for the last two seasons, but their performances, especially in the last few games, have not been great.

Rashford, for instance, has regressed drastically in the last two seasons and has continually received intense criticism from fans who feel he's not doing enough.

Garnacho, on the other hand, is having a decent season, but his performances have attracted critics.

Since replacing Erik ten Hag, the new coach has rotated the team, but today's decision seems like a big one.

The England star has registered seven goals this season, while Garnacho has eight, per Transfermarkt.

He has explained their omissions.

"I pay attention to everything, the way you eat, the way you put your clothes to go to a game. Everything. I make my evaluation and then I decide. There is a communication after the last training. They are alright. They had training this morning and I was there. They trained really well." Amorim said via journalist Simon Stone.

Manchester United are looking to pile more misery on Manchester City, who have won once in 10 matches.
