Amorim Explains Garnachos Halftime Substitution Against Ipswich

The head coach of Manchester United, **Ruben Amorim**, commented on the substitution of midfielder **Alejandro Garnacho** at halftime during the match against Ipswich Town, which ended 3-2. Just before the break, the «Red Devils» were reduced to ten men after midfielder Patrick Dorgu was sent off. Garnacho was replaced by defender Noussair Mazraoui.

**»What were your thoughts on the substitution of Garnacho, and did he have permission to head to the locker room?»**
**»It might have been cold and damp. We intended to play in a 5-3-1 formation. I realize it’s a bold move since he may be the only player with the pace to take on defenders one-on-one. However, I felt that the team was performing well and controlling the match in the first half. We needed to decide who to substitute, and we also had to consider set pieces, so that was my decision,»** Amorim stated, according to Manchester United’s official website.
