'You have a manager on the sidelines who would probably have scored a hat-trick': Jermaine Jenas slams Manchester United frontmen Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial over 'stale' display in Aston Villa draw
* Manchester United stuttered to a draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford
* Jack Grealish opener cancelled out by Tom Heaton own goal in first half
* Tyrone Mings then salvaged draw after Victor Lindelof put hosts ahead
* Jermaine Jenas criticised front pair Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial
* The pundit felt neither pair attacked the box enough during the match
Jermaine Jenas singled out Manchester United front pair Marcus Rashford and Anthony Rashford for criticism after the club stuttered to a draw at home to Aston Villa.
Jack Grealish put the visitors ahead before Rashford forced an own goal for Tom Heaton in the first half, with Victor Lindelof's second-half strike cancelled out by Tyrone Mings shortly after.
Jenas believes Martial and Rashford should shoulder the blame for the toothless attacking display - and felt United boss and retired striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have scored plenty from the service.

Jenas told Match of the Day: 'What worried me today was the complete lack of movement in their team, everyone was just stale and stuck in their positions.
'They were really sloppy in that final third. They have to find a way to get themselves in that six yard box, because it is happening too often. Rashford was not even looking at the game until it is too late.
'You know what Dan James will do, get in that six yard box. You have the three guys you want to score goals - Rashford, Lingard and Martial - nowhere near it, not even close. Manchester United have not even played well today and they have still created all these opportunities where people aren't even getting close.
'It is a little bit embarrassing. You have a manager on the side-lines who would probably have scored a hat-trick today in what was probably one of the worst performances he has seen from United. It was just stale and there was no direction to what they were doing today.'
Anthony Martial also struggled during the match and was unable to register a goal. Jermaine Jenas felt that boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have scored a hat-trick with service
