Erik ten Hag says Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes all doubtful for Crystal Palace match | OneFootball

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says Scott McTominay hasn’t trained all week, Bruno Fernandes is a doubt and Marcus Rashford has not resumed training ahead of his side’s next Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday.

At the pre-match press conference ahead of the match, Ten Hag said:

“Scott didn’t train so far this week but I expect him back in training on Saturday and we have to see if he’s 100% available or for a part of the game.

“After the game (vs Burnley), we had an issue with Bruno. He is a doubt for Monday, we all know Bruno, never rule him out for any game. He will do his best to be available.

“Jonny Evans returned today for team training. Tomorrow we are off and then two days until the game. Martial was partly in team training.”

Speaking via manutd.com on Rashford, Ten Hag said “His issue after Coventry hasn’t healed. I can’t tell [you] when he will be back in training.

Ten Hag was asked his reaction to loanee Jadon Sancho’s performance for Borussia Dortmund in yesterday’s Champions League semi-final and replied:

“Yesterday he played very good, he is a very good player, showed why Man Utd bought him and represents a high value for Manchester United, which is good. I am happy for Jadon.”

The manager was then asked to comment on reports that the majority of the United team has been put up for sale this summer.

“It is a joke. Every window, it’s said 200 players get an interest from United. It is untrue. Every summer it is said we sell all the players in our squad, which is untrue.”

“We know we are still below the levels from the expectations Manchester United has so we have to catch up and I’m now going into my fifth window, two windows quite okay, two we missed, we have to make new improvements to the squad. But there is a base of this squad that is very good.”

Speaking on his developing relationship with new technical director Jason Wilcox, who will have a lot of authority over transfers, Ten Hag commented:

“We talk every day from now, from last week. In a very short period we have to build an intense relationship, we are working now to a plan, we had a plan already before he stepped in and of course we have to get aligned. It takes time but we don’t have so much time.”

The second part of the press conference will be embargoed until Sunday evening at 10.30pm.
