Solskjaer unhappy with the subs rule
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is unhappy that the Premier League has cut the number of substitutions to three for the start of the new season.
Premier League clubs were allowed to nominate nine substitutes and up to five substitutions after the restart in June, but, prior to the start of the current campaign, most clubs voted against maintaining the five substitution rule and the clubs have had their seats. reduced to seven players.
United can include 12 substitutes and make five changes in Champions League matches and Solskjaer featured Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay, Edinson Cavani and Axel Tuanzebe in RB Leipzig’s midweek beating.
“100 percent [I would have liked to have had five subs in the league] and I don’t understand and I can’t believe that the vote went against it.
“Because we have to take care of the players and think about the players.
“This season is the most demanding of all. I can see why the clubs voted against it, but if you take a step back and think about these professional footballers and their mental and physical health, I think the only sensible solution would have been to give us a chance to get some more rest.
“We have already seen a lot of injuries in the Premier League. Pep has talked about it. We, as managers, as clubs, as medical personnel, we have to take care of them. That’s why we have to give the players rest at certain times. I would have liked to have five substitutes. “
