Manchester United included youngster on bench and made no substitutions.
Tony Cascarino has told The Times that he feels Manchester United should have brought Tahith Chong on against Juventus.
Chong was included on the bench for the first time, with Alexis Sanchez injured.
The Dutch teenager has been prolific for United’s under-23s this season.
United lost 1-0 at Old Trafford against Juventus and manager Jose Mourinho surprisingly made no substitutes.
Cascarino told The Times: “Why not throw on the young striker, Tahith Chong? United were getting nowhere so there was nothing to lose.”
Chong is more of a winger than a striker but the sentiment is the same.
United were up against it trying to break down one of Europe’s strongest defences and looked devoid of ideas, with Romelu Lukaku especially awful.
Throwing on Chong may not have worked, but it would have lifted the crowd and brought a bit of unpredictability to United’s play.
With United losing 1-0 and making no changes from the bench, it’s hard to argue against Cascarino’s assessment.
