Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has explained holding back Alejandro Garnacho for defeat at West Ham.
Ten Hag left Garnacho on the bench for the 1-0 loss.
"He was on the bench, then, of course, he is capable of playing," Ten Hag said. "But we also had other options with Martial, with Jadon Sancho, with Sabitzer, offensive and fit - very fit - players are there and present, then you have to play them.
"But in one week, you have to see, it's one week extra and he is brave, he can make a difference, yeah.
"You have seen we tried to change them but that's always difficult when you are losing. You saw the team wanted, they put a lot of effort in and on occasions, they go in the wrong positions, they are forcing too much, too quickly, then it's counterproductive.
"So we have to learn from such situations, stay calm, stay composed, then you create chances. We had some chances, the best I think was Martial but we have to create more."
