Erik ten Hag didn't hold back when assessing Manchester United's defending for Melbourne Victory's goal on Friday.
Man United came from one goal down to beat Melbourne 4-1 in their pre-season fixture in Australia.
Chris Ikonomidis opened the scoring in a move that started from a goal kick, with Luke Shaw out of place after he pushed high up the pitch.
A couple of slick passes completely took Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire out of the picture, with Ikonomidis slotting home.
Maguire was making his first appearance under the Dutchman, having not played in the 4-0 victory over Liverpool.

Speaking after his side's 4-1 victory over the A-League side, Ten Hag pulled no punches with his analysis of the defending.
"I know, I don't want to talk about the individual because I think it was from the start, high up the pitch, the wrong choices and then it ends up like a pack of cards," he exclaimed.
"It's not one individual, it is more the team who made mistakes."
The goal kicked Ten Hag's team into action as the Red Devils hit back with two goals before the break.

Scott McTominay levelled then Anthony Martial put his side in front. Marcus Rashford made it 3-1, with Edmond Lupancu scoring an own goal to complete the rout.
The victory over Melbourne comes after Man United thrashed Liverpool 4-0.
They resume their pre-season tour of Australia against fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace next Tuesday.
