Marcus Rashford benched as Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos make Man Utd debuts
Marcus Rashford starts on the bench as Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos make their Manchester United debuts against Hull City.
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has handed competitive debuts to new signings Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos for the away Premier League fixture against Hull City.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has been named among the substitutes alongside established players Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez. Notably, the 28-year-old forward has officially taken the No.9 shirt for the season, with his previous No.10 jersey now occupied by Matheus Cunha.
He's a very good player, and I think if you're going to have a career over 10 or 15 years, there's going to be times when things go in a direction and maybe a different direction. Now we're in a positive place as a group, and Marcus can offer us so much. Michael Carrick
While speculation regarding the forward's long-term future persists ahead of the transfer deadline, Carrick praised his application since returning to training. Any appearance off the bench today may provide a clearer indication of where Rashford fits within the club's plans for the current campaign.
