Players' Respect for Ten Hag Not in Question, Despite Rashford Incident
Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, addresses the importance of discipline and asserts that his players still respect him, despite recent incidents involving Marcus Rashford.
Discipline and Respect
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has stated that his players do not lack respect for him, despite an incident involving Marcus Rashford. The forward missed training after allegedly partying into the early hours of the morning, which led to his exclusion from the FA Cup match against Newport County. This comes on the back of other disciplinary issues involving Rashford.
Ten Hag firmly believes that discipline is crucial both on and off the pitch in football. He emphasized the importance of drawing the line between right and wrong, and expects every player to understand and meet the required standards of professionalism. While recent events have raised questions about the discipline within the squad, Ten Hag is determined to focus on winning football games.
Rashford's Potential
Despite the recent incidents, Ten Hag expressed confidence in Marcus Rashford's ability to regain his form from last season. The forward scored an impressive 30 goals during that campaign and has already made significant contributions in the last two Premier League games. Ten Hag highlighted the developing partnership between Rashford and Rasmus Højlund and is eager to see this progress continue.
As the team prepares for their upcoming game against Wolves, Ten Hag will have the option to include André Onana, who has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations. However, Mason Mount remains injured and will not be available for selection.
