Erik ten Hag on Marcus Rashford

Erik ten Hag has explained that punishments handed out to Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho following indiscretions were different because “Jadon chose to go public.” Ten Hag's reasoning for the inconsistent treatment of the two players has raised questions regarding fairness and consistency. Rashford, after being disciplined, is set to return to the squad, while Sancho has been loaned out to his former club Borussia Dortmund. Ten Hag is faced with concerns about consistency and fairness and the long-term impact on team morale, player conduct, and fan perception. Ten Hag's explanation sheds light on his thought process, but the issue continues to be a topic of debate.
