Players ten Hag fell out with

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

The issue between Ronaldo and ten Hag began when the player turned up late for pre-season training after the death of his infant son. He was repeatedly left on the bench and was eventually released by the club following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan. He joined Al-Nassr, where he rediscovered his form.

2. Jadon Sancho

The England international was dropped for the 3-1 loss to Arsenal, and the boss claimed it was for poor training ethics. The player released a statement disagreeing with his manager and refused to apologise, which led to him being frozen out of the team and will leave the club in January.

3. Dean Henderson

Per Daily Express, ten Hag was pissed with Henderson after the goalkeeper claimed he left as he didn't want to remain and be left as second choice. He refused to cut short his loan in January and pushed for a permanent exit to Crystal Palace.

The former Ajax boss was seen screaming at the youngster during pre-season training, labelling his gameplay “rubbish.” he never played a single minute and was sold for £1 million to Dutch club Utrecht, much to the annoyance of some fans who rated the Iranian youngster.

5. Raphael Varane

The former Real Madrid defender has fallen in the pecking order behind Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans, leading to a confrontation with the manager at training. Their relationship has broken down and could lead to his departure from the club.
