Erik ten Hag always demands the most and the Dutchman’s approach doesn’t always make the right impact on the players.

1. Jadon Sancho

Sancho rarely shows the form that will cost Man United £73m for him in 2021. Most recently, Ten Hag seems to be unable to endure with Sancho anymore, when he removed him from the Red Devils squad for the first confrontation with Sancho. Arsenal.

• The former Ajax coach affirmed that Sancho did not perform enough in training sessions to be selected. And the British star quickly objected publicly via social network i.

  It remains to be seen how Ten Hag reacts to Sancho’s attitude…

  2. Cristiano Ronaldo

  

  “I don’t respect Ten Hag because he doesn’t show respect to me,” the Portuguese superstar shared in a shocking interview with Piers Morgan. Then Man United quickly made the right decision, which was to get rid of Ronaldo .

  “Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Man Utd on the basis of consensus,” Man Utd announced on the homepage on the evening of November 22 last year.

  3. Zidane Iqbal

  

  In a video, Ten Hag shouted at Zidane Iqbal during a ball-keeping exercise. Ten Hag expressed anger and shouted at Iqbal when the 19-year-old misperformed the exercise, saying: “Keep the ball low on the ground. Zidane, hey, keep the ball. It’s trash!”

  Although Man United advanced in all four competitions last season, Ten Hag did not give Iqbal a minute of play in the first team. Maybe, the moment of anger of the Dutch strategist is the end of the young Iranian player’s career at Old Trafford.

  This summer, Ten Hag completely eliminated a potential player like Iqbal, letting him join Utrecht for a cheap fee. Remember, the midfielder signed a long-term contract at Old Trafford in the summer of 2022 and played in the Champions League.

  

  4. Noa Lang

  

  During Ajax’s Dutch Cup win over Telstar in 2019, when Lang scored his first goal, Ten Hag could not be satisfied with the attitude of the current star playing for PSV.

  Ten Hag shouted loudly: “Noa, you have to know how to back away. You have to be quiet, you have to listen, you just have to do it.” Lang was about to respond but was immediately interrupted: “No! Come on, this is our match, not yours alone,”

  Exactly one month later, Noa Lang was sent to Twente on loan. By the summer of 2021, he was sold permanently to Club Brugge.

  “Obviously things weren’t working out between me and the coach ,” Lang said. “Everyone loves me at Ajax, except one person.”

  Lang shined in Belgium and returned to his native Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven this summer.

  5. Andre Onana

  

  Onana was one of United’s standout signings in the summer of 2023, but the Cameroon goalkeeper was at odds with Ten Hag earlier at Ajax.

  “Onana was booed on the pitch by his own fans despite the team’s win. He conceded a goal by mistake, something Onana said he ‘didn’t care about’,” said The Daily Mirror . about Ajax’s 2-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam in April 2022.

  “The goalkeeper has confirmed that he is leaving the club and Ten Hag has been unimpressed with Onana’s attitude in the final weeks of the season.”

  Onana was left out of the Ajax squad for the Dutch Cup final against PSV Eindhoven at the end of the season, a match that Ten Hag’s side lost 1-2. Anyway, they’ve made up for now.
