[스포츠조선 이원만 기자] It appears that Manchester United manager Eric ten Haag is no longer in control of the squad. After the team suffered a crushing defeat, the players who were supposed to be leaders got into a heated argument in the locker room. This is not a stage that coach Ten Haag can adjust.

British media The Sun reported on the 19th (Korean time) that ‘four Manchester United star players got into a fight in the locker room after the crushing defeat against Brighton’. Manchester United lost 1 to 3 in the 5th round home game of the 2023-2024 season against Brighton held at Old Trafford, Manchester, their home stadium, on the 16th. As a result, Manchester United suffered their third loss (two wins) in five games since the opening and fell to 13th place in the league.

This is the worst start to the season. Building on the confidence of taking third place in the league last season, Manchester United was motivated to challenge for the title this season. Coach Ten Haag recruited players in all directions and led the team with his unique strong leadership.
But it is having the opposite effect. The result of driving out players who served as locker room leaders, such as Harry Maguire, and adjusting the team according to his own strict standards is actually having the opposite effect. Jadon Sancho was also excluded from the squad in protest against himself.
In this situation, the team’s performance is poor and the team atmosphere is reaching its worst. According to The Sun, four players reportedly got into a fight in the locker room after the match against Brighton. Captain Bruno Fernandes got into a fight with Scott McTominay, and center back duo Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof also got into an argument, showing their dissatisfaction with each other. Now the only thing left is to criticize each other.
Regarding this, former Manchester United legend Gary Neville said, “How popular were Sancho and Maguire in the locker room? Manager Ten Haag has a kind of ‘bug’, and that is what discomfort and uncertainty is being created within the team. “It’s something you can’t know from the outside,” he said. As a result, it can be seen as an indication that the current crisis is being created by director Ten Haag’s self-righteousness.
