Rasmus Hojlund’s puzzled reaction to Erik ten Hag’s controversial double substitution during Manchester United’s match against Burnley has caught the attention of fans. New footage of the forward shows him shaking his head with a bemused expression after being substituted, highlighting the confusion surrounding the decision.

Ten Hag’s choice to replace Hojlund and Kobbie Mainoo with Amad Diallo and Scott McTominay in the 65th minute was met with boos from the Old Trafford crowd. Despite United still chasing a goal, the young duo was withdrawn, leading to speculation and criticism from fans. The Manchester United manager defended his decision, stating that he needed to make tactical adjustments and protect the young players from fatigue and potential injury.

Hojlund, in particular, has been a key player for United, scoring 14 goals in his debut season, second only to Bruno Fernandes. United’s 1-1 draw with Burnley leaves them sixth in the Premier League, with European qualification still within reach. However, the incident has sparked debate among fans about the manager’s decisions and the team’s performance.
