Former Manchester United striker Alan Brazil claims the team are ‘disgusted’ by ten Hag’s treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho.
Brazil revealed in a recent interview that “Manchester United players are claimed to be ‘unconvinced’ by manager Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils currently sit tenth in the Premier League, with four wins and four defeats in their opening eight matches this season.
Ten Hag’s soured relationship with some of his players has partly been attributed to United’s woes.
Recall last season, he reportedly had a fall out with Cristiano Ronaldo, and now he’s in a public dispute with Jadon Sancho, who has been excluded from the club’s first-team training.
According to sources close to the former Manchester United man Brazil, players at the club are unhappy with the manager’s handling of these situations.
Referencing an unnamed source within the team, Brazil told talkSPORT, “This is what I’ve been hearing… from a Man United player who told someone I know very well.
“He said the players are not having the manager. They’re not having him at all. By all accounts, they are disgusted by the way he treated Ronaldo – and they say Sancho is a great guy who works his socks off.”
The reported gossip follows a series of rumours about unrest at the Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, in a statement by the United boss last month, he addressed some leaks from the team’s dressing room:
“I don’t know if it’s a leak but I know opinion, so I know my players. Everyone can make suggestions, we are okay with it.
“At United, you have to win every game so it doesn’t change anything,” he added “It’s my second year, I know it’s not always going only up, you will have gaps and you can get stronger from it as long as you stay together.
