Erik ten Hag brands Manchester United's two-goal collapse against Aston Villa 'unacceptable' as the Red Devils are brought crashing back down to earth by Calum Chambers' last-minute equaliser in Perth

Erik ten Hag told his Manchester United players there was no excuse for giving up a two-goal lead against Aston Villa, branding the second-half collapse as 'unacceptable'.

United led 2-0 at half-time but failed to win for the first time in four games on tour as Calum Chambers headed a last-minute equaliser.

Ten Hag refused to blame the bad weather or poor pitch, saying: 'We had a lot of movement behind the defending line, scored two great goals so we were 2-0 up at half-time and then our focus dropped.
