Erik ten Hag made the bold call to leave Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez out of his starting line up for the clash with Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon
Jamie Carragher has asserted that Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez were indeed dropped by Erik ten Hag for Sunday's crucial match against Aston Villa and not rotated.
Ten Hag was asked before the match about Matthijs de Ligt's absence, considering he only joined the club from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window in August. He replied: "It's just rotation. We've so much games to cover, so we have to bring them all in."However, Carragher dismissed this explanation, stating: "You don't rotate centre-backs. They've been dropped.
Ten Hag has faced increasing scrutiny recently due to United's poor start to the season. Before Sunday, they had only won three of their first nine matches in all competitions, intensifying the pressure on the Dutchman.
