Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen has claimed that Manchester United's tactics during this afternoon's 2-2 draw at Old Trafford were "easy" to defend against.
United dominated possession throughout the match but were often forced out wide, resulting in the Red Devils delivering a record 81 crosses into the Fulham box.
The Cottagers did need a 94th-minute equaliser to rescue a point having squandered a one-goal lead earlier in the match, but Meulensteen believes that United lacked any real creativity in their attack.
"When I saw Manchester United today, I thought the game plan was quite straightforward - get it wide, get it in," Meulensteen told reporters.
"If you're well organised and the goalkeeper is in good positions to come and collect the ball, it can be easy [to defend against]. You need a little bit of creativity and a bit of variety at times to open [teams] up.
"It was partly straightforward. We know that we had to be more compact and tight in wide areas because United would cross the ball a lot."
The draw means that Fulham are now four points from safety in the Premier League table, while Manchester United are nine points behind the final Champions League place.
