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.

    Why are so many people here obsessed with ten Hag? I swear it’s the same questions every time I come on here about ten Hag. Is the league really that boring that this is all we can discuss?

      It’s because it’s united, and united are all the media care about.

      Like, United are 7 points off top, if you didn’t know about any results and just listened to the media, you would easily think we are bottom half of the table.

    He’s doing nothing wrong. He’s simply putting his own stamp on things and clearing out the egos from the dressing room who are holding back the project. Arteta did similiar when falling out with Ozil, Leno and Aubamayueng. The experts were calling him foolish then but they are quiet these days. Ten Hag is making progress and United are finally acting like a serious club after a decade of masquerading as a millionaires retirement home.

    Big names who have hit massive highs and have been the ‘star’ player at some point in their career. Possibly these players are being asked to put team interests first in a way that involves some uncomfortable truths, and maybe some personal sacrifices, and there is a period where they’re not happy about it. In some cases the players will get over it and probably improve. In some they won’t and will leave. It was the same under SAF, it just gets forgotten.

    He isn’t lol. Media always spins some shin. Managers fall off all the time, the bigger club they are, the steeper the fall. It always happens. You can’t avoid it. Just like hot you can’t always convince everyone

    Don’t worry about it.

    Thank you very much to Casemiro but he may leave, specially if we can get some money out of him.

    Sancho, can’t handle training? Being a bitch? No place for him here. let him leave and also we could get some money out of him.

    De Gea, made plenty of mistakes, didn’t want to lower his wages. Honestly, did not care weather he had chosen to stay or not.

    Varane, great player and also many thanks but he Gets injured often and he is already in his 30’s. Selling him now would he a smart move. It would also be very smart to stop buying Real Madrid’s used up players for a high fee. (F*ck that club)

    You have to be ruthless when making decisions in such a big club. ETH is the boss and you also must learn that.

    I dont think varane and casemiro can be included in this, varane not being happy about being on the bench is not falling out in any sense. Hes a player and he wants to play and being a professional I trust he sees that maguire is in very good form and varane isnt reliable with injurys. Casemiro isnt stupid he knows hes not playing well and ofcorse hes upset with not being played.

    Sancho is discipline issues. Case and Rapha are pure bollox rumours. The only reason Raphas not playing atm is because of Maguires form

    You have to expect it really. If you are a strict manager who wants to win, and you have players who aren’t pulling their weight, there’s bound to be falling-outs, it happened for us with Arteta.

    Was Ronaldo a ‘model professional’ when he left the Spurs game early?

    What about when he smashed the cell phone out of that kid’s hand?
