Rashford’s Shocking Bench Stint Sparks Fury: Redknapp Fires Back at Critics with Blistering ‘Nonsense’ Claim
Manchester United Held to a 0-0 Draw Against Crystal Palace
Manchester United’s recent winning streak came to an end as they recorded a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace in the 2024-25 English Premier League away match held at Selhurst Park in London, England.
Despite their recent wins, Manchester United’s performance was disappointing, and the results were not satisfactory. The team’s overall performance was marred by the absence of Marcus Rashford, who was benched for the first time this season.

Rashford has been in good form recently, scoring his first goal against Southampton and later recording two goals and one assist against Barnsley. However, he was substituted for Joshua Zirkzy on 61 minutes of the second half and did not make a significant impact.
Jamie Redknapp criticized Coach Erik ten Haag’s decision to bench Rashford, saying, “I think something is going on… I can’t find out the details. However, the player who scored against Southampton and Barnsley was dropped (from the starting line-up). Will Mohamed Salah be on the bench for Liverpool if he scores three goals in two games? That can’t be possible.”

Coach ten Haag responded to the criticism, saying, “I’ve already heard a lot of speculation. It’s nonsense. We have a lot of games to play, and every player needs a chance to perform. In the current situation, players who perform better will play more games.”
Manchester United’s performance this season has been underwhelming, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in the first 5 rounds. The team needs to improve their performance to move up the table.
