Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has apparently lost the support of his players. This comes from a report by Sky Sport UK. Accordingly, half of the dressing room would now speak out against the Dutchman as coach.
On the one hand, the players are said to be dissatisfied with ten Hag’s style of play, but on the other hand, many in the club find the training “too hard” and complain about too many running sessions. As ESPN reports, there would still be players in the team who are clearly on the side of their coach.
According to the Mirror, ten Hag expressed harsh criticism of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford after the 1-0 defeat against Newcastle United. The Frenchman’s mileage and effort weren’t right, so Rashord was attacked by the Dutchman primarily for his lack of attitude.
Immediately beforehand, Manchester United excluded various media representatives from its press conference on Tuesday. The accusation: The journalists did not give United a chance to respond to the allegations before their critical reports.
Manchester United: Ten Hag is calm
Meanwhile, Ten Hag assured the rest of the reporters before Wednesday’s Premier League game against Chelsea FC that, contrary to reports to the contrary, he was confident of the support of his players. Ten Hag cited several games under his direction as evidence of his team’s “character.”
Manchester United have lost ten of their 21 competitive games this season – with ten wins and one draw. The Red Devils are in seventh place in the league, they are last in Champions League Group A with FC Bayern, and in the League Cup they ended up in the round of 16 against Newcastle United (0:3).
