Erik ten Hag made his stance crystal clear after Man Utd duo involved in training fight

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been quick to ensure his players know he is not going to suffer any off-field drama during his time in the Old Trafford hot seat.

The Red Devils manager did this by culling Alex Telles from the first-team fold before sending him out on loan to LaLiga outfit Sevilla in light of his training ground bust-up with team-mate Hannibal Mejbri. The in-house fall-out came in the aftermath of United's humiliating 4-0 defeat away at Brighton at the tail-end of last term when morale was at its lowest under interim boss Ralf Rangnick.

Though Ten Hag was not yet steering the ship at that point, word got back to the Dutchman that his predecessor was so dismayed by what he had witnessed from the two players he ended the training session prematurely.
