Arsenal v Manchester United - FA Cup Fourth Round

2-1 up at 70 minutes in an away fixture, Mourinho would have probably brought on Marouane Fellaini. He would have asked United to park the bus and also would have thrown in a couple of defenders off the bench.

Instead of trying to hold on to the lead, Solskjaer had the audacity to bring on Rashford and Martial from the bench, in a bid to kill the game. United had been overrun for most of the second half and Arsenal were threatening to conjure up the equalizer every time they went forward.

The Norwegian was extremely brave with his substitutions and it helped United progress into the fifth round of the FA Cup. The sight of Rashford and Martial on the sidelines, waiting to come on, was enough to put sweat on the foreheads of a tired Arsenal defense.

Ultimately, it was from another United counter-attack that Martial scored United's third goal, which calmed the nerves and helped Solskjer pick up his 8th consecutive win.
