After suffering yet another setback in the Manchester derby the previous week, Manchester United will have the opportunity to get back on track in the Premier League when they travel to Everton on Sunday.
Donny van de Beek is one player who will be looking to assert his dominance in the first team. However, Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag has issued a new demand to the Dutchman, so he will need to meet this demand before he can do so. Aside from that, the manager of Manchester United wants to see a more "nasty" streak from his players, and the kick-off time for Manchester United's match against Chelsea has finally been determined.
Donny van de Beek issued fresh demand
After missing a recent string of games with a new injury, United boss Ten Hag has urged Van de Beek to make sure he is in a position to start staking a claim for regular football. Van de Beek has missed a recent run of matches.Following his appointment in the summer, it was anticipated that Ten Hag would provide a second chance to Van De Beek. However, the playmaker has only been on the field for a total of 19 minutes so far this season, despite the fact that he thrived under his compatriot while the two were still at Ajax. Now, however, Ten Hag has asserted that it is entirely up to Van De Beek to ensure that he is in peak physical condition and prepared to make the most of his opportunities. On Friday, he made the following statement: "However, in order to perform well as a substitute, you need to be available. He did very well when he came on against Brighton. And since you cannot earn a spot in the starting eleven if you are not available, it is now incumbent upon him to ensure that he gets fit and continues to fight for his position."
Ten Hag looking for something called a "nasty streak"
In preparation for the remainder of the season, Ten Hag has urged the players in his Manchester United squad to take on a more "nasty" demeanor and cultivate a streetwise mentality. However, the manager is also complaining that the Red Devils have picked up too many bookings so far in this campaign. As a result, he wants them to play with more edge, but he wants them to be smarter with it. The Dutch manager communicated his new expectations for his team's performance on Sunday, before their match against Everton.
He stated, "I am familiar with foul, I am aware of what it is. In this way, we are sometimes able to make progress and also play a little bit more intelligently. As if we have way too many reservations. At the beginning of the Premier League season, there are some players who play rough, but I don't know why we get so many bookings and I wonder why they do it. In the same vein as the first booking we received against Manchester City on Sunday, I just don't get it."
The start time of the Chelsea match has been announced.
The long-awaited kick-off time for Manchester United's Premier League match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on October 22 has finally been announced. The match is now set to begin at 5.30 p.m. local time.
United's away ticket allocation has been reduced from 2,994 to 2,370 as a direct result of demands made by the Metropolitan Police. The Premier League has confirmed the time that the match will begin, but this comes at a cost for the club.
The policing authority had proposed lowering United's allocation to 1,500, but after negotiations between all three parties, a compromise number was agreed upon instead. However, United now has to make a decision regarding how to deal with the more than 600 fans who are unable to attend the game because of the change.
