Ten Hag refuted claims that Rashford and Antony were given preferential treatment, while Ivorian winger Amad has been impressive in substitute appearances this season despite not starting a game.

In response to claims that he prefers Marcus Rashford and Antony, Erik ten Hag has assured Amad Diallo that he will get his first start of the season at Manchester United if he continues to be patient.
In United’s 4-3 FA Cup quarterfinal thriller against Liverpool, 21-year-old winger Amad made an impressive impression off the bench this season.
United meet Burnley in Saturday’s Premier League match, and Ten Hag has not started the Ivorian player yet. However, that might change this weekend.
Ten Hag said he hadn’t been too devoted to Antony and Rashford, even after Amad’s knee injury made a complete recovery, despite the fact that neither player had performed well this season.
First and foremost, Ten Hag said that Amad was unavailable for a significant portion of this season due to a severe injury.
But when he got back, he needed time to recover and be ready to play. He had to get some training and play catch-up in several areas. Therefore, it is only that he now receives the minutes.
To earn a spot in the starting lineup, he must persevere, play well in the minutes he receives (not obtains, but earns), and then settle down.
I know that you have to trust front players in particular, but we have a lot of competition up there, and Adib is doing incredibly well.
However, they must also demonstrate it, and at some time, circumstances work against them.
For example, you might argue that Antony had a great game against Chelsea, but when you look at it from a negative angle, you may wonder why I benched him in the match against Liverpool.
I benched him in the game that followed, despite his strong performance against Newport.
In other words, “there’s always a fine line between trusting them and giving other players more chances,” as the saying goes.
This season, Rashford has scored eight goals and assisted on five more, while Antony has scored two goals and added two assists—three of which came in the FA Cup match against Newport, a team from League Two.
Before Saturday’s match against Burnley, Ten Hag’s squad, who defeated Sheffield United 4-2 in midweek, is now 13 points behind the fourth Champions League spot.
Antony has been out of sorts this whole season
