United were unable to win their first game at home in the competition, drawing to a former team of Ten Hag’s. 

"(Ten Hag) wanted to have a meeting with Garnacho, but he didn’t feel like it at all," Gullit said, per The Metro.  

"Garnacho was preparing to come on and Ten Hag kept talking to him. "You can just see it when a player thinks: 'Leave me alone, man!'" 

 "Am I shocked by the football? No, because I see this every week," the 62-year-old added. 

"I think Twente played sensibly. You could see that they gained a bit more confidence after a cautious start to the match. At some point you have to give them a little test and they did that well."
