Erik ten Hag lived up to his reputation for upholding the highest of standards by criticising David de Gea in the closing stages of the pre-season friendly between Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
The Red Devils won their third friendly in a row by defeating the Eagles 3-1 on Tuesday, maintaining their 100 per cent record under their new manager. Goals from Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho set United on course for victory before Joel Ward scored a consolation for Palace.
Having recovered from the minor knock which kept him out of the 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory last Friday, De Gea played the entire 90 minutes against Patrick Vieira's side. The Spaniard, 31, will have been disappointed with how he conceded, as he allowed Ward's timid header from Luka Milivojevic's corner to creep in at the near post.
