Coach Erik ten Hag made an inappropriate substitution in Manchester United’s 0-3 loss to Manchester City.

 The Manchester derby ended with a result showing Man City’s dominance.

 The home team at Etihad Stadium completely controlled the match, making it almost impossible for the Red Devils to advance the ball.

 Right at Old Trafford, Erling Haaland scored a double and Phil Foden’s goal really sunk Man Utd.

 In this match, Sofyan Amrabat continues to be deployed in the anchor midfielder role in the absence of Casemiro. However, the Moroccan midfielder’s performance was not too outstanding.

 He hardly touched the ball, only had a meager 20 touches in 45 minutes, a very poor number for a player playing in the midfield position. Amrabat only made 10 passes and struggled to keep up with the intensity of Man City’s players.

 The 27-year-old player only wins 50% of his duels. He fouled Man City players twice while only making one tackle and blocking a shot once.

 When needing to advance the ball, Amrabat made 0 shots, 0 long passes and 0 crosses. Obviously Amrabat’s performance has been very bad since joining Man Utd.

 However, coach Erik ten Hag’s decision was even worse.

 Right at the beginning of the second half, Ten Hag immediately withdrew Amrabat and trusted Mason Mount. However, Amrabat did not play very well, but at least created a defensive shield from afar for Man Utd.

 Meanwhile, Ten Hag’s intention to withdrаw a defensive-minded player to replace him with a better attacker completely went bankrupt. Because, Mount had an underwhelming performance.

 In nearly 50 minutes, Mount had 0 assists, 0 passes to create opportunities, 0 shots and only completed 4 successful passes. Obviously, bringing Mount onto the field was a big mistake for Ten Hag.
