“Manchester United” strategist Erik ten Hag this season has to worry not only about the team's game, but also about the off-field activities of his players.

At the beginning of this season, Jadon Sancho publicly criticized the coach and was subsequently removed from the team, and in January he was finally loaned to Borussia Dortmund.

Last week, a unpleasant situation arose with Marcus Rashford, who missed training on Friday, reportedly due to illness. However, later "The Athletic" reported that the Englishman spent two nights before that in a nightclub in Belfast.

M. Rashford missed last weekend's FA Cup match, but at the beginning of this week the club announced that the situation had been resolved and the player returned to training.

Before Thursday's match with Wolves, "Man Utd strategist Erik ten Hag himself compared these two situations.

“Such situations can be resolved internally by the club. Jadon chose to make everything public.

Players at this level must control themselves. We demand that from them.

Footballers must understand what is good, what is bad. To play at the highest level, you must promote a certain lifestyle,” said E. ten Hag.
