Sky Sports reporters broke the news that Manchester United manager Ten Hag has lost the support of the dressing room, and the players have stopped trusting him and are very disappointed in him. Actually, more than a month ago, I said in ** that Ten Hag had lost control of the dressing room and that the players didn't listen to him. Now that the Sky Sports reporter has said it directly, it shows that the problem has become very serious, basically to the point of irreconcilability. It is believed that Ten Hag has entered the countdown to the end of class.
The journalist revealed that Ten Hag has three problems that have left the player unhappy. First of all, they were dissatisfied with the way the team played, thinking that the training intensity was too high, and they ran too much in training, and they didn't understand why they ran the way they did. Secondly, many people think that Ten Hag's management style is too mechanical, too rigid and self-serving, and lacks affinity. Others were unhappy with the way he had dealt with Sancho, believing it had gone too far.
A coach like Ten Hag lacks a convincing resume, and he simply doesn't fit in the way he manages Ajax's players. A rookie coach like Ten Hag wants to use strong tactics to establish his authority, which is self-destructive. After all, there are a lot of stars in a team of Manchester United's level. In today's society, managing stars and managing average players are completely different things, and if you treat your stars so hard, it will only backfire. Tuchel and Unai Emery have previously failed to do that well, leading to their sacking.
If you take over the team and your results improve steadily, then maybe all the problems are not a problem. However, once the grades become fluctuating and appearing frequently, then everything quickly goes into a vicious circle. Manchester United has been in a vicious circle for a long time. Cover one problem, and another problem will pop up, and you can't even suppress it. Ten Hag is extremely chaotic at a tactical level, extremely selfish when it comes to recruiting and extremely egotistical when it comes to management. I still think that the first task for Manchester United to avoid sinking further is to fire Ten Hag.
