I’ve seen many fans and pundits make this claim. Do you think Manchester United players aren’t playing as well as they can in hope to get Ten Hag sacked. I’ve seen this argument used against Rashford as people since he’s got his new contract he’s just content to get his money and play as well.
Though Hoijund has claimed the players all back Ten Hag still https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/09/erik-ten-hag-manchester-united-squad-backing-rasmus-hojlund
I think it’s clear there is a divide and not everyone is 100% in support of ETH. It’s very clear that some players are either distracted or just don’t like Ten Hag’s methods, but play on as they’re paid to do so. If I was to select those who I think have stopped trusting or respecting ETH from an outside perspective, I would say Casemiro, Varane, Eriksen, Rashford, Martial have all changed their point of view on the manager and or feel let down by certain decisions made by him. On and off the pitch. I would not say for one second that every single player in that club respect Ten Hag and wants to bleed red for him. THAT is very clear. I go to most games and I’ve seen a drastic change in player and manager interaction (I sit close to dug outs) … Things have become quite icy that’s for sure. I don’t think the entire dressing room all have the same mindset right now and thats detrimental
