Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has named two decisions Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag made that left him ‘very surprised’ during the Red Devils’ FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry City on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
Man United booked their spot in the FA Cup final for the second season in a row after a dramatic win over the Championship side.
The Red Devils had a three-goal cushion but Coventry sensationally battled back to 3-3.
The Premier League club eventually won 4-2 on penalties.
“I was just very surprised to see Mainoo, I don’t know if he’s got a knock or something, but he’s somebody who can control the game or slow it down, so I was very surprised to see him coming off,” Wright said on ITV. “The same with Garnacho.
“You can talk about experience, but bringing on [Christian] Eriksen has not really made much of a difference. I was bewildered.”
Recall that Ten Hag opted to substitute Garnacho for Antony and Mainoo for Christian Eriksen in the second half.
