The Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag saw his side held to a 2-2 draw by Aston Villa after they led 2-0 in a pre-season friendly in Perth.
Stormy conditions and an uneven pitch made the game difficult for the players – with the weather almost forcing a postponement.
“It can be that the guys are tired but it’s not an excuse, they have to perform,” Ten Hag said. “A drop of focus is unacceptable, but … now I can tell them it cannot happen.”
Jadon Sancho’s goal and an own goal by Matty Cash gave Manchester United a 2-0 lead before Leon Bailey scored for Villa and Calum Chambers crashed home the equaliser in stoppage time.
