Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United's decision-making let them down in their defeat to Crystal Palace, as their set-piece vulnerability was exploited once again.

Match reaction: United players showed how weak their mentality is
United dominated for much of the game but rarely troubled Palace in the final third, the opposite of the visitors, who rarely got forward but often looked threatening when they did.
Speaking after the match, Ten Hag was asked for his verdict and pointed out that all of Palace's chances came from set-pieces against his side.
"It's quite simple. We conceded only three chances over the whole game - all three from set-plays. Then I think we got in good positions and then made poor decisions," he told Sky Sports.
"We got into good positions and we had free players. We didn't have an impact. The quality was just not good enough in that part of the game. The final part of the game we didn't play our best game.
"Of course it is frustrating. We were also many times close. You have to be sharp and clinical. It's about decision making. We can't change this result anymore. You always learn from the game and learn to do better from the final part of the game."
