Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained his decision to substitute Alex Telles against Everton was purely tactical.
Given his attacking instincts it seemed a bizarre move to hook him while United chased the game. But the tactical tweak clearly paid off as United went on to win 2-0, scoring twice in the closing minutes at Goodison Park.
Solskjaer explained his decision post-match after the Carabao Cup win.
"You never know what will happen in football, the first goal always changes games," he told Sky Sports. "As long as we were in the game I knew my substitutes could come on and make an impact.
"Even Luke [Shaw] when he came on he has the strength and power to drive down the side so we tried to swap around a little bit the dynamics of the game."
