Man Utd fans catch glimpse of first-team training and say ‘that explains a lot’

Manchester United fans have been left furious after a video showed first-team players struggling to pass the ball during training.

Erik ten Hag and his side have put themselves back under significant pressure following their 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Dutchman had previously won the Premier League’s Manager of the Month, with previously scapegoated defender Harry Maguire scooping the player award after a resurgence and a run of six league wins from eight games.

But the defeat against Bournemouth saw United once again take one step forward, three steps back, after they previously showed their best against Chelsea in the 2-1 midweek win. Now, United must react against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night or they could be knocked out of Europe completely.

Ahead of the clash against the German champions, a video was posted on social media showing United players in front of Ten Hag and his coaching staff, playing a passing drill round a circle – commonly known as rondo – in which players in the middle of the circle try to intercept passes from players around the outside.

The clip first showed a wayward chipped pass from Victor Lindelof before just two passes into the restart with fresh faces, Alejandro Garnacho misplaced a pass, seeing the players switch yet again.

Diogo Dalot was next to miss the mark, though this time the drill made it to three passes before the ball went out of play. It made the drill look more like shuttle runs between the circle than a passing warm-up.

United fans on Twitter were less than amused watching the botched drill, as one said: “This video explains a lot” in reference to the side’s recent form. A second said: “I used to watch Rio Ferdinand & the team do this…..light years ahead of his lot!!”

A third fan commented: “That squad of players cost nearly £1 billion to assemble, and you can find a higher standard in the National League. Grim.” With a fourth adding: “I can’t believe it’s not a wind up.”

United’s Champions League knockout qualification is out of their hands with them currently bottom of the group. Ten Hag’s side must beat Bayern Munich and hope the other game in the group between Copenhagen and Galatasaray ends in a draw to qualify for the last 16.
