The Manchester United players are reportedly encouraged by their new permanent manager Erik ten Hag's coaching abilities. However, they feel he perhaps doesn't have the personality to turn things around at the club.
The current Ajax head coach has been confirmed as Manchester United's next manager, succeeding interim manager Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season.
The 52-year-old has had decent success with Ajax, winning two Eredivisie titles, two KNVB Beker trophies and two Dutch Super Cups.
He also led Ajax to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2019, having beaten Real Madrid and Juventus en route. For the club, of the stature of de Godenzonen, it was a real achievement.
Despite his list of achievements and work in transforming Ajax into a top side being heralded around Old Trafford, United players are uncertain over his personality.
MEN reports that there are reservations over whether Ten Hag is a strong enough character to deal with the club's current demise.
There are questions over whether the former Bayern Munich II coach can rebuild the squad that has encountered a woeful season.
Are Manchester United players correct in their analysis of Erik ten Hag?
According to MEN, many in the United squad felt that Mauricio Pochettino was a better candidate to take over. Luckily for many Red Devils fans, the players' opinions haven't been taken into account given the poor season they have fallen to.
The standards at Manchester United have been so low this campaign that reservations over Ten Hag's suitability are quite remarkable.
Certainly from the perspective of questioning his personality, as many in the current United crop can be attributed to a lack of drive and determination.
Their capitulation this season has been extraordinary. With Ten Hag eyeing a third Dutch league title, there is certainly irony in the depiction of the Red Devils' next manager.
According to Independent, Ten Hag is in agreement with Ralf Rangnick that the whole Manchester United starting XI needs a revamp. So it is possible that the players with a lack of quality or attitude might even be let go off in the summer.
The Dutch tactician is set to oversee a huge overhaul of the squad this summer and his work in dealing with departures at Ajax is encouraging.
He has had to deal with the losses of the likes of Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt and Donny Van de Beek over the years.
Yet he still has his AFC Ajax side fighting for top honors, albeit they were a tad disappointing in the Champions League this season.

I expect ten Haag to throw out those wannabes who come to utd for holiday or those that spent too much time jesting, dancing , dwelling in politics. After the preseason training, he will have an idea who to keep , who to buy as replacement. I hope Ten haag keep mejbri, pellestri and amad instead of loaning them out.

Why are the players to questioning the appointment of a coach? Is that the reason you were signed, or do you have a share in the club? You job is just to play football and that’s why the club is providing players every necessary amenities for them to concentrate on their game when they are on the pitch. Players preferring POCH because they don’t want to work hard in training. Let them go whoever don’t want to buy into the coach’s football philosophy. Is the football club theirs or is that the extent United has gotten to, where players dictates what happens, and on top of their underwhelming performance throughout the season. Please let Ten Hag come in and clear the bag eggs from the dressing room because they are making the locker room toxic and it won’t be good for the young players already in the dressing room and also for the incoming players they will sign during the summer. I can owe a company and my employees will want me to notify them before before employing a worker or ask question when I employ a worker, I will ask you if you owe the company or how much share you owe in the company. What concerns you is to do the job you are paid for and nothing more because I’m not answerable to you. They should be ashamed of themselves that if not for 37 years old man they wouldn’t have finished in the top half of the table and also for the individual brilliance of De Gea in goal. Who doesn’t want to play under the coach should notify the board and let their contract be terminated with immediate effect and not even waiting till summer. Bunch of underachievers with big egos. Wait Ten Hag is coming for those of you messing up the locker room.
You Dey mind those useless players!

It’s a lot of about those crappy players we have in that team, questioning a manager that will put them to test to the limits. Lazy, overhyped players.

players who say that are the players who are setting confusion in the dressing room. The role of a player is to follow the directives of the coach in a team and not to decide which coach is better for the team.
