Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag was informed of the decision to dismiss him in light of growing feelings of anxiety in the “Red Devils” dressing room. Several Manchester United players have expressed concerns about the training and playing demands placed on them by Ten Hag.

It is also claimed that they believe the aforementioned demands have contributed to the club's high injury list. New owner Jim Ratcliffe has not yet decided whether the Dutchman will continue in his position or not, especially after the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League.
