Ten Hag may have already made a decision

Marcus Rashford could be dropped for Manchester United's clash with Liverpool on Monday night, with Erik ten Hag seemingly ready to hand a full debut to new signing Wout Weghorst.

Rashford has been in poor form for United this season, and was hauled off at half-time during the 3-2 win over Arsenal on Sunday.

Weghorst, meanwhile, joined United on loan from Burnley on Friday and is pushing for a starting spot against Liverpool.

Rashford's form has been poor

Rashford has scored just five goals in 22 Premier League appearances this season, and has failed to find the net in his last six games.

The England international has also been criticized for his overall performances, with some pundits questioning his work rate and attitude.

Ten Hag has been keen to give Rashford a chance to prove himself, but the United boss may now be running out of patience.

Weghorst is pushing for a start

Weghorst has a good track record in the Premier League, scoring 20 goals in 63 appearances for Burnley.

The Dutch striker is also a physical presence, which could be useful against a Liverpool side that is strong in the air.

Weghorst is pushing for a start against Liverpool, and Ten Hag may be tempted to give him a chance.

Ten Hag reluctant to drop Rashford

However, Ten Hag is reluctant to drop Rashford, who is still seen as a key player for United.

The United boss may decide to give Rashford one more chance against Liverpool, but the England international will need to improve his form if he wants to keep his place in the team.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to drop Rashford or not is up to Ten Hag.

But the United boss may be tempted to hand a full debut to Weghorst, who is pushing for a starting spot.
