According to reports, Erik Ten Hag finds it difficult to maintain harmony and unity within the Manchester United team.
According to a recent article from Football Insider, the Dutchman is ‘losing the dressing room’ amid a turbulent era that has included both subpar performances and off-field issues.
Only two of the Red Devils’ first five Premier League games have ended in victories, placing them 13th in the standings and giving them an uphill task to qualify for Europe.
Accordingly, the publication asserts “well-placed” sources have stated that the Carrington training facility is “far from a happy place,” which has led to claims that Ten Hag is unable to motivate the team.
While the former Ajax manager cannot be held accountable for what players do in their private lives, with players reportedly “pointing the finger” at the club’s senior decision-makers, the ongoing controversies surrounding attacking duo Antony and Mason Greenwood have not helped the 53-year-old, keeping the team happy is becoming more and more challenging for the Dutchman.
Fans of the Red Devils will be disappointed by these reports, but they shouldn’t be too surprised. There is no doubt that things are not going well for the 20-time league champions behind the scenes, but with a crucial Champions League match against Bayern Munich scheduled for Wednesday night, Ten Hag is under extreme pressure to make up for last weekend’s humiliating 3-1 home loss to Brighton and Hove Albion. Facing Germany’s all-time greatest team with an unsatisfied squad could make tonight’s challenge nearly impossible.
