Danny Murphy has questioned the logic behind Manchester United players' preparation for the second-half of their crushing defeat by Crystal Palace.
The former Liverpool midfielder watched on as his old rivals were humbled 4-0 at Selhurst Park on Monday night, as goals from Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell inflicted a 13th loss in the league.
Erik ten Hag's side were 2-0 down going into the break and required a herculean effort to turn around their fortunes. However, when speaking on commentary for talkSPORT, Murphy was astounded by what United players did after emerging from the tunnel.
'There's a member of [Erik] ten Hag's staff that's run from the dugout to the corner flag where they come out here at Palace. He's put three yellow cones down and three red about a yard apart.
'As the players come out, he insisted that each one of them did a little short, fast burst of little short steps in between the three cones and then sprint off into the middle of the pitch.
