Ralf Rangnick makes admission over Fred and Anthony Elanga substitutions for Man United vs Leeds
21.02.2022 - 07:33 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Ralf Rangnick admits he did not send on Fred and Anthony Elanga with the expectation they would have goalscoring impacts for Manchester United at Leeds.
Fred and Elanga replaced Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard in the 67th minute and the Brazilian midfielder restored United's lead in the 70th minute before Elanga secured victory on 88 minutes.
Leeds pegged United back with two goals inside the first nine minutes of the second-half in a fraught encounter between the sides, playing in front of matchgoers at Elland Road in the Premier League for the first time since October 2003.
Pogba started again in a 4-3-3 formation but drifted to the left wing in the first-half and fashioned chances for Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes. However, Pogba was withdrawn as he continues to suffer fatigue following a three-month absence with a thigh injury.
"He did well from the first half, but he didn't play from the wing, he played as one of the two 8s with Bruno. We played with Jesse Lingard and with Jadon Sancho [on the wing]," Rangnick said.
"He did great but after 60 minutes he was a little bit tired, which is normal after such a long injury break, and it was great to bring on two energetic players like Fred and Anthony Elanga. They both scored in the end.
"This is the best part of it: I didn't bring them on to score goals, it was about getting more energy to the team again and play in a similar style to we played in the first-half."
