Some MUFC Players Are Frustrated With Erik ten Hag’s Tactics – Jermaine Jones

Ex USMNT midfielder, Jermaine Jones has come out to say that some Manchester United players were unhappy with Erik ten Hag’s tactics against Newcastle. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, a few MUFC players are starting to look like they are frustrated with the tactics or their positions, and he can tell from their body language on the pitch.

Jones added that he does not see any level of respect from the players towards the coach’s plan for the Newcastle game.

His words, “I personally thought tonight there were signs that there were a couple of players in there for me that either wasn’t happy with the tactics that were put to them or weren’t happy with their positions on the pitch.

The body language of a team tells you a lot at times and there were a few of them that were sending a message to the manager. I thought today Marcus Rashford on that right hand side in particular, the way that he just walked around throwing his arms around was one for me that said “look, I don’t want to be playing on this right hand side.

No tracking back, you had Martial getting ran by Fabian Schar from the centre half doing whatever he wants. There was too many of those moments that I looked at and I thought he (Ten Hag) seems to be such a disciplinarian off the pitch but I didn’t see the same level of respect from the players on the pitch today and that’s a big concern.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
