I’ve seen many fans and pundits make this claim. Do you think Manchester United players aren’t playing as well as they can in hope to get Ten Hag sacked. I’ve seen this argument used against Rashford as people since he’s got his new contract he’s just content to get his money and play as well.
Though Hoijund has claimed the players all back Ten Hag still https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/09/erik-ten-hag-manchester-united-squad-backing-rasmus-hojlund
With regards to the squad - Man Utd needs to remove and find replacements for Bruno, Rashford, Anthony, Shaw, Maguire, Martial & Scott McT. They have zero character, are the most toxic bunch in the whole squad and the prime reason behind Jose getting sacked from the club. They believe themselves to be untouchables. They definitely need some really good players with a great attitude and character.
How do you get teams to buy players on 300grand plus a week when they’ve not been performing? None of them will take wage cuts that’s why Utd lose so many players on free transfers.
