MAN UTD SQUAD EXPECT TEN HAG OUT
According to the Daily Mail, a number of Manchester United players anticipate that Erik ten Hag will be fired by the team’s new co-owners, Ineos, before the 2019–20 campaign officially begins. Their 11th Premier League loss of the season came against Manchester City in the derby on Sunday, dropping them to sixth place, 11 points behind fourth-place Aston Villa.Some fans are not happy with how United lost to City; they had only three shots against their rivals’ 27. However, it is rumoured that Ten Hag still has the backing of the entire squad. Still, there may be a summertime shift coming.“Some players are not happy with the rigours of the training sessions and the manager’s and his No. 2 Mitchell van der Gaag’s strict methods.”Despite United having no midweek match, some players were not happy that they did not have an additional day off following the Luton game. “There is a belief that Ten Hag needs to freshen up the sessions and go easier on the players to keep them fit for the rest of the campaign,” one player said.
