Erik ten Hag wants Man Utd players to visit the club museum due to poor knowledge

Erik ten Hag wants Man Utd players to visit the club museum due to poor knowledge

Ten Hag has visited the museum inside Old Trafford twice himself.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly demanded his players visit the Old Trafford museum after showcasing poor knowledge of the club's history.

Ten Hag was furious following United's 6-3 defeat to bitter rivals Manchester City last weekend, delivering a few home truths in his post-match inquest.

He tested his players on their knowledge of the Red Devils' illustrious history and footballing DNA but few demonstrated the levels required.

Some admitted they'd never visited the stadium's museum which left ten Hag shocked.

A source told The Sun: "The manager was furious with the performance against City.

"He was saying to the players that anyone representing Manchester United cannot freeze and get beaten so badly.

"He said: 'You’re playing for United. Do you not know what that means, given the history of the club?'."

United are one of the most decorated sides in history, holding a record 20 top-flight titles and being the first English side to win the European Cup.

Their last league title triumph was 2013, with their last trophy in general coming in the 2017 Europa League. They're on their longest barren spell in four decades.

Ten Hag took over in the summer after spending five years with Ajax. The Dutch outfit has a rich footballing history of its own, so the 52-year-old showed United the same respect.

He's said to have visited the museum twice since becoming manager in May.

A second source added: "He asked them what they knew about the club. When some said they had never been to look around the museum or only walked through it, he was astounded.

"He’s visited twice since joining this summer. He has told all the players they need to make time to go in either before it opens or after it closes, so they can learn more about what it means to represent United."

Defeat to City ended United's run of four consecutive Premier League victories.

They returned to winning ways on Thursday evening after edging out 3-2 winners over Omonia Nicosia.

United are back in action on Sunday evening against Everton, who have one of the division's best defences this term.
