Who does he believe could win a late equalizer for his team? Which athlete might replace him as his Mark Robins?
Ten Hag’s response came as the clock approached eighty minutes: it was unorthodox and surprising at the same time.
Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt, the center halves, were replaced by Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire.
When the board went up, former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson commented on Radio, “This is the strangest substitution.” “Manchester United are chasing a game with 12 minutes to go!”

Mike: Is That Ten Hag? You add two defenders with the score down to 3-2—are you trying to win with your P45?
Kevan: Preposterous. Ten Hag simply lacks any kind of managerial sensibility. Two defenders replace two other defenders with one substitute.
GG: Substituting Maguire and Evans with ten minutes remaining and one goal behind. Is Ten Hag attempting to get fired on purpose?
