Erik ten Hag hauled his Manchester United flops in for extra training yesterday in the wake of their horror show 4-0 defeat at Brentford.
After calling the performance ‘rubbish’, the furious United boss cancelled a planned day off and ordered the players to report to the club’s Carrington training base.
Ten Hag punished his team for running a total of eight-and-a-half miles less than Brentford by making them cover the same distance yesterday in temperatures of over 30 degrees. Sportsmail understands that concerns among United’s coaching staff over the effort put in by some players in training last week were justified by their pathetic performance at the Gtech Community Stadium.
