Rasmus Hojlund is spotted looking bemused at Erik ten Hag’s decision to substitute Kobbie Mainoo in Man United’s draw with Burnley – which sparked furious reaction from fans

New footage has emerged showing Rasmus Hojlund’s bemused reaction after Kobbie Mainoo was subbed off in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Burnley.

The United striker endured a difficult game at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag’s Premier League woes continued and was brought off by his manager late in the second half.

Hojlund – who joined in a £72m summer transfer from Atalanta – has forged a strong relationship with Mainoo and fellow United youngster Alejandro Garnacho during his debut campaign at the club.

United manager Ten Hag explained his substitutions after the match and claimed younger players in his squad playing their first full senior season are susceptible to fatigue.

‘I am the manager and have to decide what the team needs,’ said Ten Hag.

‘It was the right decision and totally logical to bring off very young players who are in their first year of the Premier League and feel some fatigue.

‘They [Mainoo and Hohlund] have both had injuries this season and I want to protect them,’ he added.
