Posted by Before Manchester United’s season-opening loss to Brentford, Erik ten Hag advised one of his players to “stop moaning.”
Before the game, it was rumored that the players were grumbling about playing in the heat.
Ten Hag lost to Brighton at home in Manchester United’s opening Premier League match of the year, and he then lost to Brentford on the road by a score of 4-0.
According to The Times, the Dutch coach was not pleased with several of his United players’ pregame demeanor.
One was chastised for saying that it was “far too hot to play football.”
Earlier last month, the former Ajax manager expressed his dissatisfaction with the Red Devils’ morale.
Ten Hag stated to Voetbal International that “there was no enthusiasm in it [the locker room] and I didn’t notice any team dynamics in the team.”
“The mental fortitude was quite poor. This team lacked the competitive spirit that puts teammates’ needs before one another. The thing that was most essential to me was changing the culture.
