Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hit back at club legend Wayne Rooney this week.
The English former player and manager made a controversial comment about the squad over the weekend.
Rooney intimated that many United players were not actually injured and could play if they wanted.
I think you have to see here in Carrington the players are desperate to play," said Ten Hag this week.
I see Licha Martinez, I see Bruno Fernandes - he did a fitness test on Sunday to play. Marcus Rashford did everything he could do.
He trained and tried to train last week, but he didn't make it. Players are desperate to play, they want to be in the right shape.
You see also Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane, they are training to make themselves available for the final. They do what they can do."
