With Stokes making it hard for United to break down the defence through aerial balls, the Portuguese decided to take off Fellaini and bring in Marcus Rashford. The youngster had an instant impact on the game as his searing pace down the left wing caused all sorts of problem for ex-Liverpool Glen Johnson.
Rashford’s inclusion gave United’s attacks another dimension and they started making inroads into the Stoke 18-yard box more often than they did in the entire second half. Rooney and Lingard were brought in next, in places of Mata and Mkhitaryan respectively. While the chances came in hard and fast after that, it was the man from Everton who saved United’s day.
