Erik ten Hag criticised Manchester United's young players for their role in Crystal Palace's first goal of their 4-0 mauling.
United suffered their worst defeat of the season and 13th loss in the Premier League at Selhurst Park, where Michael Olise's two goals bookended a handsome victory for Palace.
Ten Hag was visibly apoplectic at the ease with which Olise collected the ball just inside his own half before running towards goal to score the opening goal in the 12th minute. "There (the first goal) was a script and they should follow it and they didn't do," Ten Hag said. "Professionals shouldn't allow this because it was such an easy giveaway goal, five players over the ball and they have a throw-in.

I know we have young players but even young players should learn when they play in the first team they should take responsibility there. "How we give the goals away and especially when we prepare the team and conceding the first goal is very disappointing.
