Premier League announce five substitution rule change Change could suit Manchester United


 The IFAB (International Football Association Board) have announced the five substitutions rule is to be introduced into the Premier League next season, to fall in line with the rest of the leagues in Europe.

As reported by The Mirror,the change comes after the rule was originally introduced in May 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Premier League were the only major competition to revert back to the original three subs rule.

There has been a wide held debate among managers as to whether this rule change is going to benefit the big sides, with the wider squads.

Previous United managers have supported the idea of 5 subs, including Ole Gunner Solskjaer and Ralph Rangnick.

Rangnick, in particular, voiced his frustration with the three subs rule, citing the ruling for not giving outgoing Jesse Lingard, minutes at the end of last season.
