Garnacho was taken off 30 minutes after replacing Wout Weghorst in the 59th minute as Ten Hag shut up shop with United in a precarious 2-1 lead.

Defender Harry Maguire took his place and Ten Hag warned Garnacho that he has to accept being substituted.

The United boss told MUTV:”First we had to see how they changed, then you have to anticipate and see how we can close, how to be compact, how we close the gaps, how we get away from our goal but also still have a threat in attack.

“I think we had to change something.

“It’s not always nice bringing off a player who we brought on but it’s in the interests of the team and the player has to accept that.”
