The man for the job. In 2022, Manchester United thought they had finally found in Erik ten Hag, the coach capable of bringing the club back to the top. The Dutchman, who enjoyed many successes at Ajax Amsterdam, notably managed to obtain a good third place in the Premier League, win the English League Cup and qualify his team for the Champions League. It’s not so bad. But the coach also had to deal with many problems like the Cristiano Ronaldo case. This season, he must do the same with Jadon Sancho, whom he has sidelined.

Supported by his management for all his decisions, Ten Hag knows despite everything that he must quickly get back on track with his team which is in eighth place in the championship (5 wins, 5 defeats) and which already has two defeats in three matches. Champions League. But the Dutchman will have to reconquer part of his locker room. THE Daily Mail reveals that several players in the Mancunian group do not understand the coach’s attitude. He is considered too harsh by his troops, who fear that he will affect the morale of the team and that he will harm the unity of the group, particularly because of the conflict he has with Sancho.

MU players complain about their outfits

If Erik ten Hag is not yet threatened, The Sun specifies this Wednesday that sacking him would cost a little more than 43 million euros. But the coach is not the only one responsible in the eyes of the press. The players are also singled out, even more so after the defeat in the derby against Manchester City last Sunday at Old Trafford (3-0). But Bruno Fernandes’ teammates have obviously found where some of their problems come from. And the reason put forward in the columns of Daily Mail is surprising to say the least.

So, we learn that Ten Hag players are complaining about their outfits. Their jerseys and socks would be too tight. For this reason, they wear replicas during matches because the tunics dedicated to supporters are a little looser. André Onana notably wore a replica because he did not feel good in the jersey designed to fit his size. The club’s equipment supplier, adidas, is looking for solutions to solve this problem. At the start of the season, Aston Villa had the same problem with their jerseys.
