Erik ten Hag has joined the Jurgen Klopp school of slamming the fixture schedule in a spiky interview ahead of Manchester United's clash with Everton.
The Red Devils are the only Premier League team to have played in every midweek since the World Cup, having gone as far as they can in three cup competitions. It is placing a huge burden on United's squad, with Ten Hag ringing the changes for the visit of the Toffees.
The schedule has been squeezed by the fact the World Cup was held in the middle of the season, with the Premier League set to finish at the end of May. And in explaining why he brought Harry Maguire back into his starting line-up, Ten Hag took aim at the fixture pile-up.
