Man Utd stars believe that Ten Hag has made the loss of strength due to injury increasingly serious.
Ten Hag is powerless in the derby
Last Sunday, Man Utd lost 0-3 to Man City in round 10 of the Premier League. This defeat clearly shows the big difference in level between the two Manchester teams. Ten Hag still has a lot of work to do to bring MU back to the number 1 position in England.
With the defeat against their neighbor, MU stood still in 8th place on the rankings with 15 points. After 10 rounds, they won 5 and lost 5. This achievement is of course not enough to satisfy fans, but the Red Devils’ Board of Directors sympathized with Ten Hag. Old Trafford’s top brass believe that the loss of strength is an unfortunate factor that has affected the Dutch coach’s second season.
Up to this point of the season, 16 MU first team players have had to sit out at various stages. Among them, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez have not set a return date. The young star duo Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo were injured in the pre-season and have only just returned. Meanwhile, defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to return before the November international break.
According to ESPN, Ten Hag still receives the support of the Board of Directors, but many players in the dressing room believe that MU’s problem lies with the former Ajax coach. They believe that Ten Hag’s harsh training methods are the reason why injuries are increasing.
Even the player who was considered a ‘person without lungs’ when he was playing at Real Madrid, Casemiro, is also having problems. The Brazilian midfielder was not physically fit and missed the Manchester derby last weekend. If this situation continues, MU’s internal affairs will soon be in turmoil.
In the middle of this week, MU will face Newcastle in the fourth round of the League Cup. A few days later, they will be guests of Fulham in round 11 of the Premier League.
