Erik ten Hag tears into FIVE of his ‘unprofessional’ Man United players for their failure to learn a lesson, which led to Michael Olise’s opener in their 4-0 demolition at Crystal Palace

Erik ten Hag was furious with five Manchester United players as he slammed their defending from a throw-in that led to Crystal Palace’s opener on Monday night.

The Red Devils were delivered a brutal 4-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, the latest sting to what has been a frustrating season.

United’s manager was critical of his team’s performance insisting his players ‘let each other down’ though vowed to keep fighting amid pressure over his future.

He was particularly unhappy with the nature of how they conceded their first goal, after Palace waltzed through United’s defence after a throw-in before Michael Olise put the ball in the back of the net.

Ten Hag said after the game: ‘Professionals shouldn’t allow this. It was such an easy giveaway goal.

‘Fіʋe рlауerѕ oʋer tһe Ьаll wһen tһeу һаʋe а tһrow-іn аnd іt’ѕ not tһe fіrѕt tімe tһіѕ ѕeаѕon.
