Despite dominating the match, United were unable to find the net and missed a golden opportunity to climb the Premier League table.

Manchester United failed to capitalise on their midweek 7-0 win over Barnsley as they dropped points at Selhurst Park to continue their inconsistent start to the season.

After the game, Ten Hag expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome, saying, "I'm not content; we should have won."

The  Dutch emphasised that the team needs to be more clinical in the final third.

Reacting after the game, Ten Hag was not contented with the results, "I'm not content, we should have won.

The  Dutch added that the team should be clinical in the third half

"First half we left them alive, the second half was more balanced. We played very good (in the first half), total control of the game, the only thing was in the box and in the box is where the game is decided. We should be more clinical there," Ten Hag said after the match.

Manchester United will host Twente on Wednesday at the Old Trafford stadium for their Europa League clash.
