‘Losing to Bournemouth, £250m spent & you bring on Phil Jones…’ – Fans react after Louis van Gaal makes a late Man United substitution

'Losing to Bournemouth, £250m spent & you bring on Phil Jones...' - Fans' reaction after Man United's late substitution

When Manchester United were 2-1 down at Bournemouth, desperate times called for desperate measures. 

The Cherries were leading with thanks to goals from Junior Stanislas and Josh King, while Marouane Fellaini netted for the Red Devils in talkSPORT's live commentary match. 

United were famous for 'Fergie time' under Sir Alex Ferguson's reign, but Louis van Gaal's luck does not seem to be in at the moment. 

With Man Utd about to extend their winless run to five in all competitions, Van Gaal looked to his bench. 

He had attacker Ashley Young available and even Morgan Schneiderlin, but instead he replaced Paddy McNair with defender Phil Jones in the 91st minute.

That decision did not go down well with Manchester United - and football - fans, who took to Twitter to vent their frustration and mock the Dutchman's decision.
