JAKARTA - Manchester United players have been sprayed by manager Erik ten Hag again. This time it was Zidane Iqbal's turn to be the target of the Dutch tactician.
It happened in the Red Devils training session for pre-season in Western Australia on Thursday. The video of the 52-year-old coach's anger is now circulating widely on Twitter.
In the video clip, Ten Hag can be seen yelling at his players before issuing harsh words to Iqbal. He was annoyed that the 19-year-old did not heed his instructions.
"Keep the ball down! Zidane! Hey! Keep the ball down! Damn trash," shouted Ten Hag, as quoted by Sport.
However, some reports say that Ten Hag did not close his admiration for Iqbal. He is said to have been so impressed with Iqbal's game since joining Old Trafford.
This is not the first time Manchester United players have been sprayed by their new manager. Before the main goalkeeper David de Gea was also hit by Ten Hag's tantrum during their match against Crystal Palace.
At that time, the manager was angry because De Gea chose a long pass. In fact, there is an option to make a short pass to the defender.
Erik ten Hag has made an immediate impact since his move from Ajax. He applies a series of strict rules to his squad while trying to apply his style of play.
The efforts made little by little are starting to show results. That can be seen from the record of the Red Devils who recorded successive wins over Liverpool, Melbourne City and Crystal Palace in their first three pre-season friendlies.
The Red Devils have now traveled to Perth. There they will face Aston Villa at the Optus Stadium on Saturday.
