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.
Also on Varane, once Martinez is and Shaw are back fit it’s believed he’ll be restored, but currently with the makeshift defence he is seen as weak under the press by other sides and there isn’t the composure from Martinez or Shaw to assist him
I think the idea Varane will play again once Martinez/Shaw return is absolutely laughable
He’s very very obviously fallen out of favour with the manager.
Even if you accept the left foot/right distinction (which is bollocks but ETH clearly buys into it) then why can Maguire partner Evans but Varane can’t? It’s not like Martinez is a physical behemoth who makes up for Varane’s weaknesses.
Hes fallen out with the manager and wants to leave. It’s obvious
