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.

    I see a lot of Ten Hag fanboys and his discipline. The question being, is that recipe a guarantee of winning?

    I mean see the guys at Madrid, especially the brazilians. What they do on the pitch is not reflected off the pitch.

    Do you believe Salah, Mane, Henderson are people to keep their heads down when things go wrong and just nod to everything ?

    Ten Hag is trying to create a squad that has discipline and the desire to do what is in the best interest of the team. Any player not 100% committed to the cause will be swiflty told to fuck off out the door.

    Nah. We know the Ronaldo and Sancho situations. Not ETH fault

    Did he fall out with De Gea? Didn’t he just leave on a free. Haven’t heard about Casemiro. Varane isn’t playing and is often injured, it’s just one player that is mad and he isn’t even starting. 🤷‍♂️

    Even so United has a terrible culture of player power. So I would hesitate to suggest ETH should be sacked for this. The negative culture would just grow even stronger

    They have given him reason to fall out? Are you joking?

    Seems obvious due to WHO he’s falling out with

    The truth might be in the middle: ETH is a bit of a dick to deal with, these players can be some spoiled brats.

    I remember a journalist once saying if you add Man united to an article headline you instantly double the click throughs to that article. Add in the fact sensationalism and negativity sells explains it all.

    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.

    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

    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.
