Erik ten Hag defended his decision to make his full quota of substitutes against Sevilla which left Manchester United playing with 10 men for the final few minutes.
Ten Hag said he made the right call and quoted a quirky Dutch phrase - “looking at a cow in the a**” - to explain how it easy to criticise his decision in hindsight. United blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Sevilla, conceding two late own goals, and ended the game with 10 men after Lisandro Martinez was forced off and Ten Hag had used all five substitutes.
After the game, Ten Hag revealed the referee had told him that Bruno Fernandes and Antony, both of whom were already on a booking, were one more transgression from being sent off.
