Erik ten Hag turned to Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans to rescue Manchester United at Porto - and the centre-back pair delivered.
Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans came on with 11 minutes remaining as Manchester United looked for a late goal at PortoWith Manchester United 3-2 down and edging towards what would be another hugely damaging defeat for Erik ten Hag, their under-pressure manager decided it was time to turn to his bench.As the clock ticked towards 80 minutes, Ten Hag's answer was both unexpected and unconventional.
Those were the words of Robinson moments after England defender Maguire met Christian Eriksen's 91st-minute corner to send a thumping header beyond Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.Has Harry Maguire just saved Erik ten Hag's job?Seb: "When you get 2-0 away from home you have to be a little bit more solid and there were far too many gaps," the England international told TNT Sport."It's something we need to improve. If we want to be successful this season we can't keep conceding two goals."Substitutes are becoming a bigger and bigger part of the game, especially with five changes allowed - half of a team's outfield players.
