“I couldn’t believe it” – Ian Wright and Danny Murphy slam Ralf Rangnick for this decision against Everton
Former England stars Ian Wright and Danny Murphy have slammed Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick for his decision to take off Marcus Rashford against Everton.
“Today he did not deserve to be taken off,” Murphy said on BBC’s Match of the Day.
“Wrighty and I were gobsmacked when he came off, there were other players on the pitch who weren’t contributing. From minute one he was trying to make things happen.
“He was getting himself in central areas and in a game where United were struggling to create, he was the one trying to run in behind with his pace.”
Wright added: “I couldn’t believe it.
“It’s one of those where we always knew he would be up against it with everything he’s done off the field. It gives people fuel to say ‘you should be concentrating on football’.
“He’s going through a bad patch of form but it happens. The manager hasn’t worked at Manchester United so it will be interesting to see what they do in the summer.”
