Ten Hag has used 28 players, as Utd went on to League Cup success and are in the Champions League places in the league.
Harry Maguire was one of three changes the ex-Ajax coach made, along with Aaron Wan-Bissaka given the nod at right-back and Tyrell Malacia replacing the injured Luke Shaw on the opposite defensive flank.
But that wasn’t enough for the former England international, who believes he should have rotated more during the season.
“Something I don’t think Ten Hag has done is use his squad enough,” he told BT Sport.
“When players have come into a game they’ve really struggled at first to pick up the pace a bit and there’s a few of those positions – Malacia at left-back.
“Maguire’s got experience, I think it’s a decent game for him to come into today. It’s not easy when you’re coming in, Harry just has to make sure he’s prepared properly and he’s training properly.
“He looks the type of lad who will be doing that and he’s played for England, but coming to Manchester United, coming to the Premier League, it’s slightly different, he’ll be tested more, but I expect him to deal with it.”
