Erik ten Hag is refusing to bow to demands from senior Manchester United players for more days off and advanced notice of their training schedule.
The United manager is understood to have fielded several complaints from members of the players’ leadership group in recent weeks over their workload, with particular gripes over the limited number of rest days they are given and the squad’s inability to plan their time off.
United’s players are given a weekly training schedule by Ten Hag, who also reserves the right to make changes to it depending on results, whereas some players want to be able to plan further ahead.
