Jamie Redknapp reveals the mistake Erik ten Hag made at half time against Nottingham Forest. It was a strange decision

Jamie Redknapp has revealed the mistake Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag made at half-time in the 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

Redknapp believes Ten Hag made a mistake by taking off Kobbie Mainoo at half-time against Nottingham Forest and bringing on Scott McTominay.

“United were struggling defensively and he obviously made the change at half-time,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.

“I found that was a very strange one to take off Mainoo and leave yourself without a recognised defensive midfield player and go with McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen.

“That is an area where all good teams have defensive midfield players. You look at what McTominay has done this year for Scotland and Manchester United, all his good work has come at the top end of the field.

“Straight away there were gaps and it opened up for Nottingham Forest and that’s where they got their success.”
