Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has blamed Sofyan Amarabat for giving away the free-kick that led to Crystal Palace’s winning goal.

Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace, their fourth defeat in 7 games this season.

Joachim Anderson fired home a free kick from Eberechi Eze after new signing Sofyan Amrabat gave away a needless foul on the edge of the area.

Amrabat began the game at left-back and clattered Jordan Ayew to the ground when there was no reason to.

Ten Hag was visibly upset in his post-game presser.

Speaking to SkySports, Ten Hag said: 

"First of all, the free kick, we need more control. 

“It is not necessary to make a foul there. Then the ball is coming into the box and it is not good defending,”
