Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has reportedly lost 50% of the dressing room which has become disgruntled with his coaching methods.

The Red Devils have been woeful so far this season, losing six of 14 league games, 10 across competitions.

Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol reports that several United players are unhappy with Ten Hag’s style of play.

“My information, for what it’s worth, is that some players are confused about what is happening,” Solhekol said on Monday evening.

He added: “He has lost elements of the dressing room, one source telling me that he’s lost about 50% of the dressing room. Quite a few players are unhappy with the style of play. They also feel they are running too hard and they’re running too much during training.”

‘A few players think he’s too set in his ways, he’s too robotic. And quite a few players are unhappy with the way Jadon Sancho has been treated and feel it’s gone too far.’

Sancho has not played since his public fallout with Ten Hag in September when he hit back at the manager’s claims that the winger wasn’t training well enough to be selected.

Ten Hag is now taking a lot of flack as well, with his tactics and management style coming under a lot of scrutiny, in part due to the off-pitch drama involving Jadon Sancho and the cruel treatment with an important and loved player like De Gea

This piles even more pressure on Ten Hag whose future at Old Trafford is in doubt. His side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St James’ on the weekend, being dominated by Eddie Howe’s Magpies.

Manchester United have already been knocked out of the Carabao Cup, a tournament Ten Hag won last season to end a six-year trophy drought. His side are also edging towards UEFA Champions League elimination, needing to beat Bayern Munich and hope that Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen draw.

Ten Hag was appointed Red Devils boss in July 2022. He signed a three-year deal after leaving Ajax for Old Trafford and has overseen 52 wins in 83 games.
