ERIK TEN HAG has slammed his Manchester United stars for making too many mistakes and "throwing away" the lead as they drew with Villa.
Calum Chambers last-gasp equaliser meant the Red Devils' winning run in pre-season came to a shuddering halt.
Ten Hag's team threw away a two-goal lead against their Premier League opponents, and the boss was not pleased with the performance.
The Athletic quote the United boss as saying: "In the first half I saw really good football, really controlling and dominating the game, but we have to learn from what happened in the second half. It’s not possible that you go 2-0 and then throw it away.
"Football is a sport of mistakes and we have to decrease the mistakes. That’s clear, but I have seen a lot of progress in these two weeks."
It is not the first time ten Hag has been unhappy with a United pre-season performance, regardless of the result.
