Darren Bent, a former Premier League striker, would like Kai Havertz in his squad ahead of Manchester United's Marcus Rashford. Havertz joined Arsenal for £65 million in June, but the Gunners had only scored one penalty before last weekend, sparking outrage from supporters. However, he has scored in his last two appearances for Mikel Arteta's guys, while Rashford has only scored twice this season after scoring 30 goals last term. Rashford's lack of consistency is causing Bent to be concerned, and he'd prefer Havertz over him for this reason.

Ronaldo (pictured) was beaten 90 minutes against Brentford in a 4-0 loss, but United evicted him in the first victory of Ten Hag's era with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Monday, which saw Ronaldo come on in the 86th minute. And Bent (inset), who spoke on Talksport, challenged the 37-year-old veteran's suitability for the Dutchman's high-octane, intense pressing device. 'There were some outstanding performances, and the two center halves defended well, as the front three.' And I get it: A lot of people ask, "How can you not play Ronaldo in this team?" says the coach. If (Erik) ten Hag wants to play the high-energy, fast-pressing, all-guns-blazing (style), I think you won't be able to play Ronaldo. Ronaldo is no disrespectful, because you're talking about one of the best players you've ever seen. However, he's 37 years old...'
