Paul Scholes criticises Erik ten Hag's 'STRANGE' substitutions in draw at Chelsea and believes decision to swap Jadon Sancho for Fred limited Bruno Fernandes' influence in 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge

Paul Scholes has questioned Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag's decision to substitute Jadon Sancho with Fred during yesterday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea, calling the call 'strange'.

Ten Hag's side controlled the early stages of the clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, but failed to take advantage, with both Marcus Rashford and Antony spurning first half chances for the Red Devils.

Their early dominance was counted by a 35th substitution from Graham Potter who replaced Marc Cucurella with Mateo Kovacic, and it helped Chelsea get back in the game.
