Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has explained holding back Alejandro Garnacho for last night's win at Burnley.

Ten Hag left Garnacho on the bench for the victory.

He later explained: "He (Garnacho) was in against Munich and I thought our team was playing very well," Ten Hag said, "so I wouldn't change that tonight because this game was a demand to keep that organisation. That's why I wouldn't change.

"I saw the players were still capable and the fitness levels were good and the energy was still there, it was only 1-0. I wouldn't change that because I also know that Burnley in one moment and in this moment where everything is against us - we have seen again a disallowed goal.

"I don't want to say if it is the right decision or wrong decision, but again there was a moment that was not on our side. I wanted to avoid that and keep this team on because they did well."
