Man Utd: Wayne Rooney urges Ten Hag to 'cheat a bit' in FA Cup final with Rashford and Martial roles
Daily Mail Wayne Rooney believes Erik ten Hag should take a leaf out of Jose Mourinho's book in Saturday's all-Manchester FA Cup final.
Man United will bid to stop arch-rivals Man City from emulating their historic 1998-99 Treble-winning campaign when the two neighbours go head to head at Wembley next weekend.
City have already got their hands on the Premier League title and will also contest next month's Champions League final, meaning they stand a strong chance of winning all three major trophies this season.
However, standing in their way of the second of those trophies on Saturday is United, who have the chance to end their Treble hopes in the FA Cup final
And in order to do so, Rooney has urged Ten Hag to 'cheat a bit' with the roles of forwards Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial by leaving them high up the pitch so they are ready to counter-attack City.
The United legend recalls Mourinho using the same tactic during his first spell as Chelsea manager, describing it as 'difficult to play against'.
