MANCHESTER UNITED fans booed in response to Erik ten Hag deciding to take off Rasmus Hojlund against Burnley.

Fans booed Erik ten Hag’s double substitution
Striker Rasmus Hojlund was taken off with United in need of a goal
Additionally, Kobbie Mainoo withdrew, and Scott McTominay was substituted.
With ten goals this season, the midfielder is third on United’s scoring list behind Bruno Fernandes and Hojlund.
The Old Trafford faithful expressed their sentiments about Hojlund’s withdrawal, and he was met with a warm reception.
The substitution of Amad Diallo for the Dane paid off, as 15 minutes later, Antony scored his first Premier League goal of the year.
However, Zeki Amdouni’s penalty kick late in the game gave Burnley an equalizer, which infuriated supporters of Ten Hag’s modifications.
Says one: “You need a goal? Remove the striker, please!? Logic dictates.”
“Jesus Christ Mainoo off instead of Eriksen,” said another. Ten Hag’s days are numbered because of these strange replacements.”
The third person remarked, “Absolutely shameful.”
One more person said, “The Hojlund sub was horrendous.”
United’s recent tendency of giving up late goals hurt them against Burnley, as the game finished 1-1.
With just two points separating Vincent Kompany’s team from safety, the goal could prove to be vital.
