Honestly, what the fuck is going on with Ten Hag and United players? Within a season and a half, he has fallen out with Ronaldo, De Gea, Sancho, and Varane, there are even rumors about Casemiro problems. You could say that Ronaldo has a big ego and Sancho is a spoiled brat, but the other two have been model professionals for their entire career up to this point.
We know for a fact that a good manager must be authoritative, but I feel this is going too far. Honestly, this might be the best argument against ETH, not the results. His ego looks gigantic which is necessary to be successful at this level, but you need to control yourself enough to keep the players on your side.

    Please stop reading the exaggerated bullshit that a lot of these media outlets are spewing.

    There was no falling out with De Gea.The United board handled his leaving very poorly which is the cause of the way his departure happened from United.

    Media has transformed Varane not being in the first 11 -> Relationship between ETH and Varane being broken.

    Casemiro had a lot of injury problems and to be honest, had a very poor start to the season. Media has again blown that out of proportion into saying relationship is gone bad.

    A lot of these news outlets sensationalize the headlines and the articles because United is a big club and such strong news garners attention.

    Ronaldo and Sancho cases are very self explanatory and everyone who knows the actual situation know that ETH is in the right in both of those.

      Not a Man Utd but it’s so true. Everything works in clicks these days so the more clicks you’re able to get the more money you make. Because Man Utd are a massive worldwide club with millions of fans they’re going to get a lot of clicks so media outlets will write anything for the attention. It’s a sad world we live in sometimes

      its the same with big clubs. Media trys to gas light people.

      A few days Gundogan complained that our players have weak mentality which is a solid point. There were no issues afterward. Yesterday reporters said to Xavi that Gundogan wants to join Saudi in January but Xavi laughed and said he is looking for a house here, lol

      It’s interesting because last week The Athletic we’re saying the exact opposite re ETH vs Varane, but now The Daily Mail are saying there are issues and everyone is jumping all over it.

      Except a lot of the reports came out before they stopped being played. It massove copium to pretend there isn’t an issue. Ten Hag is falling out with players because he is terrible man manager with an ego every bit as big as Ronaldo’s but without the skills, as a player or a manager, to back it up. It is easy to be like that at Ajax and Utrecht and get away with it. Not so much at a club like United.
