Jose Mourinho has slammed his Manchester United players after they were punished for missing "joke chances" in Saturday evening's 2-2 draw with Leicester City.
A double from Juan Mata had the Red Devils on course for victory, having earlier fallen a goal behind at the King Power Stadium, only for Harry Maguire to pop up in the 95th minute.
United should have put the game to bed long before 10-man Leicester's late leveller, with 19 attempts on target in all across the 90 minutes, and Mourinho was left to rue his side's profligacy in front of goal.
"We didn't win because missed incredible chances. I would say joke chances," he told Sky Sports News. "We made a big defensive accumulation of mistakes in an easy match to win.
"I talked to the players at half time when it was 1-1 that this was an easy match to win. The reality is that it is 2-2. Sometimes you make mistakes and are not punished by that.
"We were punished by our mistakes. It was an easy match to win, we did everything to win but when you lose big chances. Childish loss of possession, so easy. Childish in their box and childish in our box. We were punished in two points."
United, also knocked out of the EFL Cup by Bristol City in midweek, return to action on Boxing Day with a home match against Burnley.
