Erik ten Hag reacts to Manchester United supporters booing during Burnley draw
27.04.2024 - 17:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag has asked Manchester United fans to be patient after they turned to boos during the 1-1 draw with Burnley at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag's decision to replace Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund with Scott McTominay and Amad midway through the second half, with the game still goalless, was met with a significant show of dissent from Old Trafford. Decisions to take Hojlund off against Brighton and Manchester City earlier in the season were also met with boos.
When Antony struck 11 minutes from time it looked like it would spare United's blushes, but an error from Andre Onana led to a late penalty, converted by Zeki Amdouni, and the final whistle was also met with boos from the home supporters.
Ten Hag defended his double change and said the young players in his squad needed protecting from the fatigue that has built up, while also asking for patience as he builds his squad at United.

"They are fans but I have to manage the team, winning games first of all and you see what the game needs, by that time we need some freshness but also some technical wise to bring a player who can keep the ball and is creative," said Ten Hag.
"In midfield it was a very high-intensity game, it went up and down, some fatigue in Rasmus and Kobbie, very young players, it was the right decision. You see some benefit from it by bringing the fresh legs with Scott in a position when it’s so open he’s so good in those situations and he can make some penetrations from there.
"We have three games [this week] Burnley had days off so in a high intense game it’s totally logical to bring players off who are very young in their first year of the Premier League.
