Erik ten Hag's decision to bench Marcus Rashford, despite his recent good form, highlights the manager's preference for squad rotation and tactical adjustments.
The match showcased Dean Henderson's exceptional goalkeeping skills, as he made crucial saves against Manchester United, especially after Rashford's introduction in the second half.
Despite being unable to secure a win, Ten Hag noted the improved performance from the previous season's heavy defeat against Crystal Palace, particularly in defense.
The contrasting back-up options of nine international players on the bench reflect Manchester United's strengthened squad depth compared to just months earlier.
