Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag offered a short explanation for Casemiro's halftime hook yesterday.

Casemiro was taken off at halftime of United's dramatic 2-1 win against Brentford.

After the game, manager Ten Hag was asked about the decision.

"I wanted more football," he responded. "I wanted someone who brings passes, who distributes and is in the link up game.

"So I thought I would bring in Christian Eriksen instead of Casemiro."
