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 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.
