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.
Varane and Case are just engineering a move to a country where they can extend their playing career by 2-3 more years than what they would do in Europe which could give them an extra £20m-£60m each.
Fairly simple.
Sancho REFUSED to be part of a training set up because he was not going to start. Posted on social media about it. Against the club rules ALL PLAYERS signed to adhere to.
Ronaldo… went on national TV to do an interview against the club and the manager.
Antony, Greenwood… domestic violence cases!
The entire back line injured in the first 4 games of a season.
The stadium falling apart. Having to redesign the inside of the stadium so that the team whose stadium it is doesn’t have to meet at a hotel which is a bus ride away.
DDG was on 375k a week. Was offered a contract - they stopped the offer and offered him a much lower wage and no guarantees for number 1. He refused.
Each decision I stand by this man.
Tell me, at any other club - if a manager has dealt with so much shit as he has?
