Man Utd news: Worried stars ‘point finger’ at Erik ten Hag in another dressing room leak | Football | Sport

Manchester United players are reportedly concerned that Erik ten Hag’s no-nonsense training methods are having a negative impact on dressing room morale. The Dutchman has made an example of Jadon Sancho, as he did with Cristiano Ronaldo, which has opened him up to scrutiny at Old Trafford.

Such drastic action can be a hit with supporters when results support the manager’s approach. But United have had a miserable start to the season, losing five of their first 10 Premier League games to leave them eighth in the table.

The scale of the gap between the Red Devils and the title-chasing sides was demonstrated on Sunday, when Manchester City created a class apart at Old Trafford, battling the hosts to a stunning 3-0 victory.

Now, The Daily Mail A dressing room source claims to have revealed concerns about squad harmony, with Ten Hag’s ‘sudden’ philosophy hurting each other.

The 53-year-old stamped his authority on the United job soon after his arrival, when five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo was relegated to the substitutes’ bench and eventually sent off Old Trafford to slate it during an interview with Piers Morgan. .

Likewise, Sancho felt the wrath of Ten Hag earlier this season after calling out the former Ajax boss on social media. The winger has been banished from first team training ever since, and can’t even eat with the rest of his teammates.

“He’s not top class, I think he’s on the level about that,” he explained to him Sky Sports ahead of Man City’s win. “If United want to come back to win the league and the European championship, Marcus Rashford cannot be your best striker.

“United need someone better than Rashford to win that. It’s not really a criticism of him, just the players he’s playing with.”
