Humiliation! How did Erik ten Hag punish Manchester United players after their historic defeat at Liverpool?

Erik ten Hag didn’t let his players forget the historic seven-goal loss to Liverpool and punished them in an interesting way.

United’s players have received some well-deserved criticism after the historic debacle

Manchester United players would most like to erase their last game from their memory. They lost 0:7 to Liverpool, the biggest defeat in their 128-year history.

The Red Devils absolutely failed in the second act, in which they scored an incredible six goals. For this, of course, they were universally ridiculed by the haters and criticized by their fans. They blamed them mainly for their lack of pride in fighting for the club’s emblem.

Anyone expecting a day off to clear their heads and forget the embarrassing result would be wrong. United’s Dutch coach Erik ten Hag taught his charges a lesson. He was already on a rampage in the post-match press conference yesterday, but that was nothing compared to today’s training.

Coach Erik ten Hag punished his charges with an interesting method

The players got a good beating from their coach, which is to be expected. However, the method used by the Dutch strategist shocked the fans and the media.

The British newspaper The Mirror came up with the information that the players had to listen to the celebratory songs of Liverpool players in the dressing room before the training unit after their winning game. Moreover, the star players heard from their coach that they can be glad they left Anfield Road on a club bus and did not go home alongside their outraged supporters.

They had paid for tickets for the anticipated showpiece of the round and were hoping for a continuation of the solid performances of recent weeks. However, they got a committed performance without a shred of fighting spirit.

The players also heard from their manager that if such performances were repeated in the rest of the season, they would be irrevocably relegated to the reserve team. The team psychologist will have a lot of work to do in the coming days.

United will have a chance for a rematch on Thursday, when they fight in the first eight-final matches to qualify for the next stage of the Europa League. They will welcome Spanish side Betis Sevilla to Old Trafford, who robbed Real Madrid of points at the weekend.
