No Issue In United Dressing Room- Ten Hag

Manager of the Manchester United Football Club, Erik ten Hag, has dispelled media reports that he has lost 50% of his dressing room.

According to him, the reports are untrue as he has all the players on his side.

“The stories in the media about players are not true. No issues, no chaos in the dressing room…{the} players are with me. You can see for instance the comeback vs Brentford, the Burnley game, the Fulham game, every time the team is there, showed great character, great determination {and} resilience so we are together.”

He, however, highlighted, “In every team, there are always players who are not playing or playing less who are less happy. In some circumstances you need that, they have to wait for their chance. But no, there are no issues”.

As reprisal action, the Red Devils have banned some media outlets from covering their press briefings.

“Some media outlets have been 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 as they should have come to us first and not go behind our back printing articles that is not the right thing,” ten Hag insisted.

Kaveh Solhekol of Sky Sports reported yesterday that “disillusioned” United players feel the Manager is too robotic and bossy.

“Erik ten Hag is the boss. He is the one who calls the shot, he is not for turning, he is going to do things his way.”

According to him, the frustration stems from Dutch’s style of play and mode of coaching.

“Some of the payers are confused about what is happening and he has lost elements of the dressing room. {I’m told} he has lost about 50% of the dressing room. Quite a few players are unhappy with the style of play. They also feel they are training too hard and they are running too much during training and I’m told the players don’t know what they are running for.”

Some senior players are said to have approached him about their sentiments to no avail.

“Also some senior players have spoken to Erik ten Hag about where they feel they are going wrong. They have spoken to him about their experiences in other big clubs and they feel he should be a little bit touchy-feely and management could be a little bit better.”

His style and method, he reported, had cost him 50% of the elements of the dressing room.
