Erik ten Hag has his standards and he is not afraid to call out his squad when they are not meeting them.
He slammed a selection of unspecified players for thinking “90 per cent was ok” in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham. Earlier in the season, he chastised his side for “not sticking to the plan” in the heavy losses to Manchester City and Brentford.
And just after the new year, he called on United to be more “ruthless” after conceding a late goal to draw 1-1 with Crystal Palace. Ten Hag once again repeated this demand in the 2-0 home win over Everton last month.
