Erik ten Hag is under pressure at Old Trafford<\/h3>\n

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been accused of failing to treat his players equally after it was reported that some members of his squad were growing tired of his regular criticism. The Dutchman has endured a torrid start to his second campaign in charge of the Red Devils, who have lost four of their opening eight Premier League matches.<\/p>\n

It has not been all plain sailing for Ten Hag on or off the pitch, with the Manchester Evening News reporting last month that several players were growing ‘weary’ with his approach to man-management. It was said that many first-team squad members felt that Ten Hag had ‘favourites’ who were often immune to criticism, while others were ‘routinely rounded on’ by the manager.<\/p>\n

Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has since accused Ten Hag of showing favouritism towards Raphael Varane, who he described as ‘bang average’ before suggesting that United’s players are not being judged on an equal footing.<\/p>\n

“One player that really annoys me is Raphael Varane, I think he is getting away with it,” Sherwood told William Hill. “He is never fit and when he is fit he\u2019s bang average. We all know he\u2019s had a great career but at the same time everyone is happy to jump on the back of Harry Maguire whilst Varane just gets away with it.<\/p>\n

“The ones who play more football are simply more durable and they can play week in week out. Varane seems to play once and then be injured again for two weeks. He seems to be picking his games, but when he plays he\u2019s not that brilliant anyway.<\/p>\n

“Ten Hag is not judging players equally and he\u2019s just chucking people onto the pitch and hoping one of the superstars wins him the match. As soon as one of the superstars is fit, he takes the likes of Hannibal [Mejbri] and [Scott] McTominay out of the team and they end up losing football matches.”<\/p>\n
