Ian Wright, a former Arsenal star, has now claimed that Ten Hag made a costly mistake in his squad selection during the final.
According to Wright, the Dutchman should have started youngster Alejandro Garnacho upfront.
Ten Hag opted for a front-three of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho, but Wright contends Garnacho should have been in the starting XI.
"I thought we would see more from Manchester United. They improved after Garnacho came on and he definitely should have started the game for me. He proved he had a little bit more thrust about him," Wright told ITV Football via Metro UK.
