What Erik ten Hag told Man United players in dressing room after criticising second half vs Aston Villa

Erik ten Hag panned Manchester United’s second-half performance against Aston Villa in Perth and claimed they threw away victory.

United led 2-0 at the interval on their final friendly in Australia through Jadon Sancho’s volley and a Matty Cash own goal, but substitute Leon Bailey struck early in the second-half and Calum Chambers outjumped David de Gea with the final touch of the game in the 92nd minute to clinch a 2-2 draw.
