Man United players point fingers at Ten Hag’s intense pre-season training for poor form

Several senior players at Manchester United are reportedly attributing the team’s lackluster start to the season to manager Erik ten Hag’s demanding pre-season training regimen.

The Red Devils have struggled in the early stages of the campaign, further exacerbated by significant injuries to key players, including Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, and Luke Shaw. The international break has seen additional setbacks with Marcus Rashford, Andre Onana, Christian Eriksen, and Rasmus Hojlund joining the injury list.

According to sources cited by The Guardian, certain members of the first-team squad believe that the team’s injury woes are a result of an intense pre-season training program implemented by Ten Hag. The squad engaged in eight friendly matches and embarked on a 12-day trip to the United States over the summer, leaving players reportedly feeling “overworked.”

Senior players have voiced concerns about feeling as fatigued at the beginning of this season as they did at the end of the previous campaign, leading to discontent within the squad.
