Ten Hag sends Man Utd flops brutal warning & calls team a ‘pack of cards’

TOUGH HAND TO PLAY: Ten Hag sends Man Utd flops brutal warning over ‘one or two players not doing their job’ & calls team a ‘pack of cards’

ERIK TEN HAG has dealt his Manchester United players another warning, saying: Stop ­folding like a pack of cards.

The Red Devils’ supposed aces have looked like jokers — conceding 14 goals in their last five games and losing three in a row.

But Ten Hag has also claimed his shuffled Old Trafford squad and staff are ‘united’ — despite Jadon Sancho being kept out of the pack.

On United’s defending, the Dutch boss said: “It’s about 11 players who do their job.

“I  always tell my players we attack with 11 and defend with 11.

“When one or two are not doing their job, it’s like a pack of cards. So that is not only one or two players.”

Asked if he knew why a team that had the most clean sheets in the league last season, 17, is now not working for each other, Ten Hag replied: “No.

“When you are in a period like we are in, you are asking yourself these questions. My job is to get them to do the job.

“We have shown that we can do it.

“Last year we had the most clean sheets in the Premier League because we defended very well as a team. We have to get back to those standards.
