JAKARTA - Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney said Erik ten Hag should not play Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford in the match against Liverpool. Rooney said that he would not play Ronaldo and Rashford if he were in the position of coach of the Red Devils. I'm getting energy on the pitch," he said.

Manchester United will host Liverpool in the third week of the English Premier League 2022/2023 season at Old Trafford Stadium on Tuesday, August 23 at 02.00 WIB.

The match between Liverpool and Manchester United is considered very important. The reason, both teams are both still looking for their first win in the Premier League this season. The Red Devils have lost their first two matches. Ten Hag's men lost 1-2 in the first week against Brighton and lost an embarrassing 0-4 against Brentford in the second. Meanwhile, Liverpool have only managed to get two draws in the same number of games. The first draw was against Fulham, while the second was against Crystal Palace.

Rooney claims that Ronaldo did not look fit against Brentford on August 13. For that, ten Hag needs to park him for the good of the team. "United's failure to sign the number 9 means they are counting on Ronaldo against Brentford, even though he hasn't trained much with the team. He seems to need time to get fit," said Rooney. small. The reason is, ten Hag doesn't have many options in attack even though Anthony Martial has started to recover. The French striker has joined the team's training after recovering from a hamstring injury. However, the chances of him starting the game from the early minutes are very small.
