While Erik ten Hag continues to live an endless crisis with Manchester United, the Brazilian media today shares an interesting piece about his current situation at Old Trafford.
The story comes from Premier League Brasil, who spoke to people who have access to the Red Devils locker room and revealed details of what has been going on at the club.
With some information on the player’s biggest complaints about the manager, the website managed to gather the big problems that the Dutchman has been facing with the squad.
The first issue highlighted is the excessive tactical meetings held by Erik ten Hag. They’re described as ‘difficult and sleepy’, taking between 30 and 40 minutes, and repeated three our four times a week. Players claim they had more of those lectures from Ten Hag than in the rest of their career.
The manager’s squad management has also been harshly criticised, as the way he handled Jadon Sancho’s and Cristiano Ronaldo’s situations wasn’t taken very well by the dressing room leaders. Especially when it’s said there were other players in the team who behaved the same as Sancho and didn’t get the same treatment from the coach. It’s said the manager’s attitude has changed a lot since his first year at the club.
Manchester United may have a different future under the management of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but his first months in charge of the club come in for criticism too. It’s claimed he only had one meeting with the squad, which only happened because players asked for it, and sounds afraid of making drastic changes before the end of the season.
Even though Premier League Brasil are far from being one of the biggest outlets in Brazil, they’re still a very good website, who frequently have exclusive news and interviews with players. They’ve proven to have good contacts at English clubs, and that’s what makes this an interesting story. The full story is available here.
