EPL: Paul Scholes mocks Erik ten Hag over new rules for Manchester United stars

 


Old Trafford legend, Paul Scholes has mocked Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag and his new five strict rules for players.

Ten Hag, who became the club’s new boss this summer, has yet to make a major addition to his Man United squad.

The Dutchman has not also overseen any competitive game, but already has a lot of work to do, following the club’s asysmal finish in the Premier League last season.

The former Ajax boss has watched some top class players such as Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, and Nemanja Matic leave the club and star man Cristiano Ronaldo looking for a new club.

According to Daily Mirror, the Dutchman has already laid out a number of new rules for his squad heading into the new season and these include a ban on alcohol during a match-week and also a ban on personal chefs.

A third rule is that he will drop any player who is late to training or team meetings without exception, while he will keep a close eye over his squad’s weight and is set to implement weekly BMI checks to make sure his players are in shape.

The fifth rule – and perhaps the biggest – is that all players’ grievances must be run past him and his United squad are not allowed to talk to agents or other sources when they are unhappy.

And Scholes has offered his opinion on the new rules via social media.

The former England international posted an Instagram story of the article with a shrugging emoji and the caption: “Not sure I would’ve coped without my personal chef and no agent to moan to.”
