Morning all.
Can I just seek your opinion on something we were discussing last night please.
Three different people said to me last night that they thought Man Utd bringing on 5 subs at once was disrespectful. Obviously Chris Wilder is big on respect - remember when he roasted Gary Sinclair for saying ‘unfortunately there are only two minutes injury time!’ at half time against Villa.
I can see both sides of it. Obviously Man Utd were in complete control with the game won and you can’t blame them for resting players.
That said the decision to replace 5 players at once made it feel a bit like a pre season friendly where the result was beyond doubt.
Perhaps they could have done it as a three followed by two more a few minutes later so as not to rub our noses in it.
Disrespectful or understandable - be interested to hear your thoughts.
