Manchester United News: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Why I Substituted Donny Van De Beek

Donny van de Beek

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained why he decided to substitute Donny van de Beek in the second half of their FA Cup tie against West Ham United on Tuesday night.

The Red Devils progressed to the next round of the competition after beating the Hammers 1-0, needing extra-time to see off David Moyes' side.

United dominated for large portions of the match, with Scott McTominay proving the difference with the only goal of the game in the 97th minute.

After a rare start, Van de Beek was hooked in the 73rd minute alongside Nemanja Matic, with Bruno Fernandes and McTominay replacing the duo, and the Norwegian coach has since explained his reasoning for substituting the Dutchman.

"We created spaces for one or two and he played his part and did his job really well. He was neat and tidy and had half a chance when Alex (Telles) pulled the ball back to him.

"In the second half, the whole team fell off a little bit and we wanted to make a few changes."
