Manchester United 3-1 Huddersfield: 5 Tactics from Solskjaer that won the game

#2 Smart Substitutions

Herrera stabilized the midfield for Manchester United

At the start of the second half, Manchester United lost a little bit of momentum and Huddersfield started growing stronger. Fred, who seemed to tire up at the end of the first half, lost his ground and Dalot's inexperience started to show.

This meant that Huddersfield gained confidence with each passing minute and all of a sudden, United were in the back foot. Just like a good reader of the game, Solskjaer noticed this and knew he had to do something.

He pulled out Fred and put on Herrera and replaced Dalot with Young. In a few moment's time, United had regained control of the proceedings. Solskjaer had not waited for the game to come to him, he had taken a proactive decision and it had been just what Manchester United needed. While Young brought a sense of stability to the right side, it was Herrera who had the most impact.

The Spaniard took the midfield by the scruff of the neck and showed just why he was so important to United. His presence brought a sense of calm to the field and United were ready to cruise.

His presence of mind to set up Pogba showed his qualities as a player. When the game waned a little in the later stages. Solskjaer brought on young Angel Gomes, much to the delight of the Old Trafford crowd and the youngster helped keep things exciting on the pitch.

Solskjaer should be delighted with his decision making against Huddersfield because it helped United win all 3 points.
