BRAKING: Ten Hag punished Man Utd player for being late for meeting on tour, with the manager setting up an example for the older players.
Erik ten Hag strikes me as a strict individual.
I believe Manchester United needs a tactful manager of this caliber, and no one can dispute his technical acumen.
However, it will be difficult for the players to adopt his methods after performing poorly for the previous 12 months.
Because they are all currently striving to impress him, it will be interesting to see how the players respond to his strictness over a longer period of time.
Well, considering that Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to show up for preseason practice, you probably won’t get away with saying anything about him.
Ten Hag allegedly took action against a player who twice failed to show up for team meetings by benching him from a match he had planned to utilize him in.
This explains why first-team players have spoken out in public over the new manager’s discipline, including Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot.
Alejandro Garnacho has been used as an example for the older players and the youngsters. He didn’t get the opportunity to prove himself on tour despite the manager’s plans to play him.
He might get some minutes under his belt in the last two games of the preseason. He has been working hard on tour and he is expected to be at the Carrington for practice today.
Sincerely, I think this is a positive shift for Manchester United. And finally, a feeling of power.
We can only hope that this will result in higher standards and better performance on the field.
Although being late for two meetings during the preseason tour merits penalties, I’m convinced that many of the restrictions that have been reported in the mainstream media have been misinterpreted.
What if a player is late for practice or a meeting for a reason other than being tethered to the bed?
We’ll have to wait and watch how this plays out. When it comes to embracing Ten Hag’s strategies, the elder players ought to provide an excellent example.
