Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag reacts to Scott McTominay penalty decision

Erik ten Hag refused to blame the referee for Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Scott McTominay appealed for a penalty with United 1-0 up in the 72nd minute and although the challenge by Chris Richards was checked by VAR Neil Swarbrick, he stood by on-pitch official Robert Jones's decision.

"You have to accept the decisions from VAR, from the referees," Ten Hag stressed. "I look in the mirror, I look to my team, I look to my own managing and coaching and then I say invest more for the second goal then you avoid situations that you are dependent on the refereeing, VAR etc. That's what we have to do."
