Arsenal legend Henry: Why did Arteta take off Aubameyang? | OneFootball

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry was baffled by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's substitution in defeat at Manchester United.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta substituted Aubameyang in the 79th minute, bringing on Alexandre Lacazette, with his side chasing an equaliser at Old Trafford.

"One thing I couldn't understand is, Aubameyang is your captain, he is your goalscorer, you put him as a captain," said Henry.

"Fifteen minutes to go, you are losing 3-2, and you take him off.

"3-2, away from home, and you take your captain, your symbol, off the field, and you know he can score you goals.

"So something is not right there.

"He has all the right in the world to take him off but if I'm captain, I'll be going on the bench I'm not playing well but that shows 'do they still trust me?'."
