Erik ten Hag has invited his Manchester United squad to “criticise each other” following the derby demolition at the hands of Manchester City.
United’s players are set to hold clear-the-air talks on Monday following the 6-3 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

Ten Hag branded the result as a “hammering” and put the performance down to a lack of belief among his players.
“It’s an open door,” Ten Hag said. “This performance is unacceptable. As a team and as individuals we will criticise each other and then we will learn the lessons and we have to do better, starting the next game.”
Ten Hag was equally critical of his team following the 4-0 defeat to Brentford in August.
