Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has described the first half of their Premier League clash with Leicester City as rubbish.

He also singled out three of his players for praise following their 3-0 win against Leicester City.

Marcus Rashford struck twice while Jadon added the third to give the Old Trafford landlords all three points at Old Trafford.

Leicester City were in control of the first half and went close to opening the scoring through Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho.

David De Gea made some outstanding saves to keep the Foxes out on both occasions.

“Today was really tough but it was first that Leicester played brilliantly but second that we were rubbish.

“It was only because of David De Gea that we got a clean sheet until half-time. We were lucky that we scored a goal. Great ball from Bruno, great run from Rashy.”

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said they cannot “cry about” the 1-1 draw at Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.

Arteta, however, insisted his team deserved to take all three points.

Raul Jimenez opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half before William Saliba levelled in the 52nd minute.

Speaking after the match, Arteta said: “Gutted that we didn’t win it. We fully deserved to win it. That’s the quality of the opposition, so you cannot cry about it. We generated all the chances but it’s so difficult to attack.”

Arsenal had 70 per cent possession and VAR denied Bukayo Saka what would have been a late winner.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted his team did not do enough to beat Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Red Devils suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time under Amorim, losing 3-2 to Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.

Goals from Nikola Milenkovic, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood moved Forest up to fifth place, with Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes getting on the scoresheet for United.

The result leaves United in 13th place, 10 points above relegation places.

Amorim, speaking with BBC Sport, said: “Tough game. We started really bad. The first play we suffered a goal and then it’s hard to try to fight. We then controlled the game and had a lot of situations.

“We improved the movement in the last third. We managed to draw the game and then, at halftime, we were ready to go for the win and then started really bad. Two goals. Then we tried a lot of things with not a lot of quality.

“We didn’t have many situations to score. Tough game in a tough moment but we have to continue the job.”
