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
Definitely
Lack of leadership. Even senior players aren’t chipping in
Can’t believe I’m saying it but Maguire is almost coming back into a captaincy type role
Experienced Varane was very poor, Casemiro always on verge of sending off. Hannibal and Antony both should have been sent off and no one there to chat to them. Rashford been poor but manager regardless says he will play him, so a bit more arrogant. Sancho taking the piss
Multiple leaks to the press
If you are a younger player and are seeing Martial walking around, and players like Rashford/McT whinging no wonder your tools have dropped
