The Dutch manager has implemented some significant measures to address various issues since assuming his role.
Most recently, Ten Hag took the decision to remove Jadon Sancho from the squad and the training facilities, including the canteen. This action came after a public disagreement between them, triggered by public scrutiny of Sancho’s training performance.
Ten Hag also faced criticism from numerous observers, including outspoken Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, for his management of Cristiano Ronaldo before the five-time Ballon d’Or winner departed for Al-Nassr.
Manchester United has had a challenging start to the season, experiencing four defeats in their first eight Premier League games and consecutive losses in the Champions League.
These circumstances appear to be causing unrest within the Red Devils’ squad. According to a source close to Alan Brazil, some players are dissatisfied with the manager’s handling of these situations.
During a talkSPORT discussion, the former Manchester United player remarked, “This is only what I heard, a Man Utd player told someone I know very well that they are not having the manager.”
“They’re not having him, definitely not. “By all accounts they’re disgusted at the way he treated Cristiano and they say Sancho is a great guy who works his socks off.”
“So I don’t know who to believe to be honest.”
The Sun reported a heated altercation involving four players after the defeat to Brighton in September. Club captain Bruno Fernandes confronted Scott McTominay, and Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof also had a confrontation.
Regarding Sancho’s relationship with Ten Hag, it is said that they have had no communication since the English international was removed from the squad following the Arsenal defeat.
Ten Hag has requested an apology from the 23-year-old to be reintegrated into the team. However, Sancho has not offered one, and they are currently hardly speaking to each other.
Scott McTominay secured three points for Manchester United in the recent match against Brentford with two late goals.
