'He's overdoing it' - Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag slammed for training ground rules
22.07.2022 - 22:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag has been criticised for the training ground rules he has introduced at Manchester United.
According to reports, the Dutchman has implemented 'five commandments' which must be obeyed by all players during sessions at Carrington and beyond. Squad members are understood to have been banned from drinking alcohol or having personal chefs, while Ten Hag also insists on regular body mass index checks.
Unhappy players have been instructed to come directly to the United manager rather than address their concerns via agents. Players who arrive late to training also risk being dropped on matchdays.

Speaking to radio station talkSPORT about the rules, former Premier League striker turned pundit Gabby Agbonlahor said: "The players don't [drink anymore]. They'll maybe now have a glass of red with dinner, maybe on the weekend or something like that.
"The rules Ten Hag is giving are normal rules. Players will always get weighed once or twice a week and it's normal to keep tabs on what you eat.
"With the drinking, the players don't do it anyway. So when he's come in and given out these rules, the players are probably thinking, 'we do this anyway, it's nothing new to us'.
"I feel like that's overkill, [the ban on] personal chefs, they're going to cook them healthy food. Maybe just tell them these are the sort of foods you've got to eat."
Agbonlahor continued: "I think he's overdoing it a bit now because players are going to have personal chefs. They can cook healthy food and they know what foods to feed players, so why would they need to take food from the training ground?"
