Erik ten Hag has been picked up by a pitchside microphone berating his Manchester United players during their 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

United made it three wins from three on their pre-season tour in Melbourne against their Premier League counterparts. Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho all found the back of the net to give the Reds a commanding lead.

Their success over Patrick Vieira's team comes following comfortable wins against Liverpool and Melbourne Victory.
