[Saba Sports News] Recently, some British media discussed the reasons for players’ dissatisfaction with Erik ten Hag. Injuries, declining standards, and favoritism towards certain players have gradually caused Ten Hag to lose the trust of the players. After Manchester United lost 3-4 to Bayern Munich on September 20, 2023, something unbelievable happened; after returning to the locker room, the players actually high-fived each other in celebration. Andre Onana’s performance was even more shocking; Manchester United only managed to narrow the score to one goal thanks to two somewhat lucky goals from Carlos Casemiro, yet the players celebrated such a performance, which raised alarm bells. Additionally, after the Premier League match, players even avoided making eye contact with Ten Hag during conversations. Their doubts about the coach stem from two aspects: first, some believe they are running too much in daily training. According to anonymous sources, on rest days, players need to spend an entire day recovering because their bodies are too stiff.
