Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag explains how substitutes changed game in win vs Leeds

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes Sunday's substitutions turned the tide in his favour against Leeds United.

United escaped from a fervent Elland Road with three points thanks to late goals from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. But it was far from plain sailing for Ten Hag's side, who struggled to cope with the energy and physicality of the managerless Whites.

Under the temporary charge of Michael Skubala, the home side harnessed the atmosphere in West Yorkshire to dictate the frantic pace of the game for most of a goalless 80 minutes. But when Rashford rose highest to head home Luke Shaw's cross, United got a hold on the game, allowing Garnacho to arrow home a second shortly after.
