United&#8217;s commercial-driven pre-season schedule has come back to bite Ten Hag&#8217;s squad and is a problem fitting for the troublesome Glazer family regime.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutchman enjoyed as successful a start as he could&#8217;ve imagined in his maiden campaign at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>United ended their six-year trophy drought by lifting the Carabao Cup, reached the FA Cup final and finished third in the Premier League, returning to the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ten Hag&#8217;s project has capitulated this term, with takeover uncertainty, off-field antics and relentless injuries adding to his woes.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils have lost nine of their 18 games, including three defeats in four Champions League Group A fixtures and a Carabao Cup fourth-round exit to Newcastle United.<\/p>\n<p>And in some sections of the dressing room there is a sense that Ten Hag is largely culpable for his squad&#8217;s early struggles due to over-ambitious preparation.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Guardian, several senior United players believe they are finding it difficult to perform after being overworked during pre-season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Sir Jim Ratcliffe tipped to make double Man Utd signing as duo get green light[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-s-pre-season-was-far-too-big-5078794.jpg?r=1700643524598\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Erik-ten-Hag-faces-a-fight-to-fix-his-dressing-room-5078796.jpg?r=1700643530248\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Those disgruntled over Ten Hag&#8217;s approach were said to feel as tired at the start of this season as they were after the last.<\/p>\n<p>United played 62 games as they battled on all fronts last term, and a winter World Cup added to the workload. The sudden spike in long-term injuries across the game is likely no coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag reportedly intensified United&#8217;s pre-season training in a bid to fast-track their path to becoming title contenders again.<\/p>\n<p>He is claimed to consider his squad committed and understanding of the need to sacrifice to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>However, the report adds that none of the players have aired their grievances directly to Ten Hag, highlighting a serious communication problem behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Mason Greenwood backed for Man Utd &#8216;second chance&#8217; after return decision agreed[EXCLUSIVE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Ronaldo row and Greenwood exit headline chaotic Man Utd year during Glazer saga[FEATURE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag set for unhappy new year with Glazers left fuming[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Glazers&#8217; commercial-driven strategy certainly didn&#8217;t help matters after one of the busiest seasons in the club&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s pre-season featured eight friendlies in Norway, Scotland, England, Ireland and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Across the Atlantic, Ten Hag&#8217;s squad travelled across three time zones to play in New Jersey, San Diego, Houston and Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>There were suggestions of player discontent after Christian Eriksen publicly complained about the vast travelling on the tour.
