The Guardian, a British media outlet, reported on the 28th, “Some Manchester United players asked for a break the next day Sunday after losing 2-1 to Fulham. The next day after the game is usually the day to have a game analysis and recovery session.”

Manchester United lost to Fulham 1-2 in round 26 of the 2023/24 English Premier League at Old Trafford in Manchester, the U.K. on Saturday. After the match, players asked the staff to take a rest.

According to the media, the staff were surprised to make such a request despite the players’ disappointing performance as well as the set routines, and did not allow the players to rest, asking them to do their best. Ten Hag did not appear to be aware of the players’ requirements.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time the request has been denied. British media outlet Goal Dotcom reported on Dec. 8 Korea time that “Eric Ten Hag refused to give Manchester United players more time off despite their fatigue and complaints about their schedules.”

Ten Hag is adamantly rejecting calls from key players to give him more time off and to give him a training schedule ahead of time. While he has occasionally given players extra time off this season, he remains firmly convinced that strict training is needed due to the Premier League’s increased physical demands.

Meanwhile, Ten Haah is very diligent, so he moves faster than anyone else. Ten Haah arrived before 7 a.m. and began his shift, taking care of his staff at Manchester United’s Carrington Base long after the players left work. Sometimes he went home for a few hours in the afternoon and then returned to work by 8:30 p.m.

According to The Sun, Ten Hag goes to work very early, leaves work very late, and sometimes doesn’t leave until 7:30 p.m. Sometimes he goes to work too early to get security and kitchen staff. 스포츠중계
