Manchester United: Fans slam Ole’s ‘mad’ left-back swap decision in Aston Villa draw

After dropping more points in their hunt for a possible top-four place, drawing 2-2 to Aston Villa at Old Trafford, Manchester United fans have slammed their manager’s decision to bring on another left-back when they needed to hunt for a winning goal.

Jack Grealish gave Villa an unlikely lead when he looped an incredible effort over the helpless David De Gea, with an own goal from Tom Heaton and a header from Victor Lindelof putting United back in the ascendancy before England international Tyrone Mings equalised through an instinctive finish.

Given that late blow, United desperately needed to hunt for a winning goal in their bid to turn the club’s league form around – and the last thing they seemingly warranted was a left-back swap.

Brandon Williams gave way for Luke Shaw ten minutes from full-time due to being on a yellow card, but supporters hardly think this was a high priority given the scoreline – insisting a more threatening change needed to be made.

Here’s what they said on Twitter.
