Why did United only make one change
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt United were so tactically settled that they did not need to make any further substitutions in their stultifying derby draw with City.
United and City each managed just two attempts on goal and Solskjaer and Pep Guardiola made only one substitution.
Solskjaer and Guardiola have called for the Premier League to reintroduce the five substitution rule in a grueling season for players, but Solskjaer only sent Anthony Martial for Mason Greenwood in the 74th minute.
Nemanja Matic, Donny van de Beek, Juan Mata and Alex Telles warmed up but were not used and United have won one of their six Premier League home games this season, scoring three goals, two of them on penalties.
“The reason behind wanting more substitutes is sometimes when you can rest the players, it’s not to change the game too much,” Solskjaer said. “Today, we feel the need to keep them and I don’t think any of them had problems.”
