Erik ten Hag explained that Marcus Rashford’s surprise substitution at half-time in Man Utd’s draw with Porto was due to rotation. Rashford had been impressive in the first half, but Ten Hag decided to make the change as part of his plan to rotate the squad ahead of the upcoming game against Aston Villa. Despite speculation of injury, it was a tactical decision to bring on Alejandro Garnacho, who had also been performing well in recent games. Ten Hag defended his decision and emphasized the need for rotation and giving opportunities to other players. Despite the disappointing result and defensive lapses, Ten Hag remains confident in his team and urges to judge them at the end of the season. Captain Harry Maguire also expressed the need for better defending and unity within the team to improve their performances.
