Erik ten Hag was asked by BT Sport if Antony was taken off because of his turn which was criticised, to which he replied, "No. It was more or less planned. I wanted to see Cristiano and Marcus Rashford more time together and I thought Garnacho was playing quite well." The Dutch coach was clear about his stance on Antony's questioning, which was controversial with the play showing skill.

Rashford scored after coming off the bench and Cristiano scored the third goal

Erik ten Hag saw his two strikers score goals, it gives him great relief when they get to break the streak of strikers not scoring goals, they already had many without being forceful in games, now they want to start with a high level of attack they can, but when the player is available they will have to choose which one is more decisive, or experiment at some point and put Man Utd on top.
