Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, has called his players’ tactic of crossing from deep for Cristiano Ronaldo “stupid”.
Ten Hag was speaking after Sunday’s 3-1 loss at Aston Villa.
When asked if he had encouraged his players to look for Ronaldo’s head, Ten Hag replied: “No, I think it was stupid to do that.”
He added: “We delivered too quickly crosses in from too far and too forcing. Then, we don’t help him. We have to bring in the crosses at the right moment.
“I think in the second half also we bring too quickly the crosses in. The right moment was from Christian Eriksen in the first half and he found the moment in the pocket to deliver the ball to Cristiano at the far post. That was the right moment.”
United face Villa again in the Carabao Cup, before playing Fulham next weekend.
