Erik ten Hag has established strict rule to prevent injuries which one Man Utd player has already broken

Erik ten Hag established a strict rule in training to prevent injuries at Manchester United.

Burno Fernandes' volley helped the club to a much-needed three points, with the club having lost their previous three encounters.

That evening saw Raphael Varane and Sofyan Amrabat return to action at Turf Moor, with both players coming on as substitutes in the closing stages.

That is despite a rule the Dutchman has put in place, designed to prevent injuries.

The academy graduate, who may feature in United’s Carabao Cup game against Palace on Tuesday, was called up to first-team training last season while several players were away at the World Cup.

Things, however, did not go particularly smoothly. The 18-year-old allegedly clattered Anthony Martial with a crunching challenge despite tackles on established first-teamers having been forbidden.

Tempers then boiled over with the French star lashing out at the England under-18 international.

The pair were ultimately separated from one another, with the Frenchman later apologising for his outburst.
