'I had no choice' - Erik ten Hag explains Manchester United substitutions vs Sevilla

Erik ten Hag claims he had no choice but to substitute key personnel in Manchester United's Europa League quarter-final first leg draw with Sevilla.

After Raphael Varane's enforced withdrawal through injury at half time, Ten Hag removed Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial for Christian Eriksen, Anthony Elanga and Wout Weghorst on the hour with United 2-0 up.

Elanga has not scored a club goal since February 22 2022 and Weghorst emerged having tallied two goals in 20 United games - both of them rebounds.
