Man United boss Erik ten Hag says his players need to be more mature when defending corner kicks, following their 2-all Premier League draw against Tottenham.  

United surrendered the lead twice, and Ten Hag says in both instances, they conceded soft goals. 

It was the first time that United played in front of their new co-owner Jim Ratcliffe. 

Meanwhile, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou praised his team's fighting spirit, as several of his players struggled with illness in the run-up to the match.  

Spurs earned their point, after Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur cancelled out goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford.
