Up to half of Manchester United’s players are currently protesting against coach Erik Ten Hag, according to British media.
There is a lot of negative information regarding Manchester United.
“Ten Hag has lost control of half the dressing room,” said the headline on the ManUtd News page, which specializes in reporting information about the “red devils.” According to the Daily Mail, “Coach Ten Hag has lost half of the players’ support.”
Many prominent newspapers in the UK, including Sky Sports, publicized this information. Former Manchester United player Gary Neville also published it on social media, acknowledging the hectic environment in the Old Trafford dressing room at the time.
According to Sky Sports, Manchester United players felt sad following a 0-1 loss to Newcastle in the Premier League’s 14th round. This defeat relegated them to seventh position in the standings. Man United is almost guaranteed to be eliminated from the Champions League group round.
In addition to the bad outcomes, there are unattractive visuals on Man United’s football pitch. When encouraged to compete for the ball more ferociously, Martial, who has 8 years of experience playing football at Old Trafford, openly disagreed with coach Ten Hag.
And Marcus Rashford, the team’s current number one star, expressed his displeasure after being replaced early in the loss to Newcastle. Coach Ten Hag stated in the post-match interview that he “will have to talk to Rashford,” indicating his displeasure with the English player.
“Ten Hag can be sent away”
This is not the first time Ten Hag has experienced internal strife at Manchester United. Last season, he effectively threw Ronaldo out of the squad and stripped Maguire of the captaincy in order to hand it up to Bruno Fernandes this summer.
The Dutch tactician continues to torment Sancho this season. Due to disciplinary difficulties, the English midfielder was barred from all team activities.
However, recent squabbles with Martial or Rashford may cost coach Ten Hag his job. Man United’s current form is dismal.
The Dutch strategist’s capacity to lead was also called into question when Manchester United displayed a sloppy playing style without a clear strategy.
Above all, Ten Hag’s toughness failed to persuade the players. He was critical of Ronaldo and Sancho, but defended the stupidity of his “favorite students” Onana and Antony, who were trained by Ten Hag at Ajax. Ten Hag’s strenuous workouts were also frowned upon.
“Ten Hag can easily be kicked out of Old Trafford,” Sky Sports journalist Solhekol stated. He’s losing control of the locker room. Because of him, the players have stopped playing. According to one of my sources, Ten Hag was opposed by 50% of the players. They felt they had to practice too hard and didn’t understand why they had to run so much.”
