The manager of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, has mandated that his players go to the Old Trafford museum so that they can become more familiar with the illustrious history of the club.
Since his appointment earlier this year, Ten Hag has made an effort to brush up on United's history. However, he is still angered by Manchester City's 6-3 demolition of United in the derby last weekend, and he believes that his squad needs to gain a greater understanding of what it means to represent the club and wear the famous red shirt. Ten Hag believes that his squad needs to gain a greater understanding of what it means to represent the club and wear the famous red shirt.
One of the strategies that the Dutchman has implemented is having conversations with his players about their understanding of the club and the reasons they chose to play for United. He was taken aback by the fact that a significant number of people had not yet visited the club's museum, which is located within their stadium.
In May, it was announced that Ten Hag would be taking over as manager of United, and since then, the man who formerly led Ajax has been extremely busy in his new role. Not only in terms of reorganizing his team's roster and changing the way his squad plays on the field, but also in terms of brushing up on the illustrious past of the club.
He has even made two separate trips to the club's museum in order to gain further insight into United's rich and eventful history, which is widely considered to be among the most fascinating in all of world football. The Red Devils have won the English Premier League a record 20 times, making them the club with the most victories in the competition's history. New manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been tasked with bringing the club its first title since Sir Alex Ferguson's final season in 2013.
Ten Hag is said to have been left shocked by the lack of knowledge on United's history displayed by many of their squad, according to a report that was published in the Sun. Ten Hag is said to have demanded that the squad make an effort to visit the club's stadium before it opens to the public or after it closes, which would be arranged by United.
In his comments made before his team's Premier League match away at Everton on Sunday, Ten Hag urged his players to play with a "nastier" attitude while they are competing. He said to the reporters, "By doing things in this manner, sometimes we can advance, and also play a little bit smarter." Like we have too many bookings. 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. As was the case with the initial booking against Manchester City on Sunday, I simply do not comprehend.
"We want to play tough, and we want to keep the game going, but already in the second minute, Diogo Dalot has been given a booking. It's obvious that it was a foul, so why did he get booked? Additionally, I looked at many other reservations and asked myself, "Is that really necessary?" But you should also address the players directly. They have to remember to play smart, but they also have to play nasty. I have to keep reminding them of this.
