Man Utd under no illusions after Erik ten Hag dropped player for turning up late twice

As Manchester United' s players prepare to return to training ahead of the new season, they will be quick to remember Erik ten Hag's take-no-prisoners approach to bad behaviour.

The Dutch boss took over ahead of the 2022-23 season, having signed off at Ajax with an Eredivisie title win. While his first two games in charge at Old Trafford brought defeats, Ten Hag led the club to a third-place finish in the Premier League and victory in the Carabao Cup final.

He has also been unafraid to upset senior figures, whether that means dropping the likes of captain Harry Maguire or allowing others to leave Old Trafford altogether. There have also been smaller changes, though, including the decision to drop a player for tardiness during the 2022 pre-season tour of Asia and Australia.
