He said on BBC Sport: "I think United play too slowly, the ball speed is too low and the central forwards are just waiting.
"I made mistakes at times and played badly, but I had good players around me. Hojlund doesn't get any help . He has to try to keep the ball and use his body. He's running and he's willing, but he's a bit isolated.
"Not just Hojlund, but Joshua Zirkzee has lost the ball too many times . There's not enough creativity and they don't keep the ball for the midfielders and defenders to support them, so it's a bit of both."
