Image
Erik ten Hag has explained his decision to take off veterans Casemiro and Harry Maguire at half-time during Man Utd's eventual 2-1 win over Luton Town. Ten Hag's side took an early lead at Kenilworth Road on Sunday thanks to their in-form striker Rasmus Hojlund. The Denmark international bagged a stunning brace inside the opening six minutes of the Game , leading many to believe that the Game was shaping up to be a bit of a cakewalk for Man Utd.
