Manchester United's Head Coach Erik ten Hag was unhappy with his defender Luke Shaw for wasting time at Stamford Bridge on October 23rd.

Manchester United dominated proceedings for large parts of the game, but it was Chelsea who went ahead in the 87th minute. Jorginho scored from the penalty spot after Armando Broja had been fouled in the box.

Casemiro then struck late into stoppage time to salvage a point for ten Hag's men. With less than two minutes to go and the ball deep in United's half, Luke Shaw was seen juggling the ball and was in no hurry to take a United freekick.

Ten Hag blasted Shaw

The full-back was seemingly winding down the clock, but as MEN reports, his manager was far from impressed. The former Ajax manager berated the England international, asking him to launch the ball forward.

Shaw might have been contented with the point, but his manager wasn't. Unluckily for ten Hag, the game soon ended with both sides walking out with a draw.

The Blues settled for a 1-1 draw with United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, October 22, with Jorginho finding the back of the net for the hosts.

The match initially looked destined to end in a goalless draw before Chelsea won a penalty in the 87th minute after Scott McTominay fouled Broja in the area.
