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
No, we played excellently yesterday until Rashford was sent off. Any real United fan would be able to see that the team does not have the apathy it has had for many years, they simply just have a poor defeatist mentality and are not playing well in general.
