EPL: Ten Hag ‘disappointed’ by three Manchester United players after sacking

Erik ten Hag is disappointed by trio Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Antony after he was sacked by Manchester United, according to the UK Mirror.

The Dutchman was sacked on Monday morning, following a 2-1 defeat against West Ham.

It left the Red Devils in 14th place with a goal difference of -3.

While Ten Hag received support from new minority shareholders Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, the team was simply below average during his tenure.

Rashford, Casemiro and Antony are believed to be three players in particular who disappointed their manager and were partly responsible for his dismissal.

Rashford has only scored once this season in the Premier League and failed to take a shot in his first three league games. In his previous campaign he recorded seven league goals and three assists.

Casemiro’s performance against Liverpool, in which he was almost responsible for two of his rivals’ goals in the 3–0 rout, was poor, and Manuel Ugarte was brought in to replace him at half-time.

Antony too, a player who starred with Ten Hag at Ajax, was brought in and shown faith by the Dutch manager through his £86m transfer fee, but he also never hit the ground running and blemished the Dutch transfer record. Have Hag.

In the eyes of many, the almost £600m spent building the 54-year-old’s dream team has been for nothing.
