Man Utd star complained it was ‘too hot’ during 4-0 hammering at Brentford as Ten Hag told ace to ‘stop whining’

ERIK TEN HAG told a Manchester United star to “stop whining” after they complained it was “too hot” during this season’s 4-0 hammering at the hands of Brentford.

The Dutchman had a poor start to life in the Premier League.

United lost their opening game of the season 2-1 to Brighton.

A 4-0 defeat away at Brentford followed and the attitude of some of Man Utd’s stars left Ten Hag unimpressed.

According to The Times, one moaned in 32C heat: “It’s way too hot to play football.”

Ten Hag yelled back: “Stop whining.”

The on-pitch complaints backed up Ten Hag’s assessment of United before he took over.

He says the Red Devils lacked mental toughness.

Ten Hag said in an interview with Voetbal International: “The mental toughness was very low.

“The fighting spirit wasn’t there. To get that in the dressing room, you need personalities.

“That’s why the purchase of Casemiro was so important.”

Following the hammering by the Bees, United got their first league win of the season.

It came against rivals Liverpool, with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford netting in the 2-1 win.

United have only lost twice since the two-straight defeats, and find themselves fifth in the Premier League.

They’re one point off Tottenham and have a game in hand over Antonio Conte’s men.

A 3-0 over Nottingham Forest earlier this week set the tone for the restart.

And United are back in action on Saturday against league strugglers Wolves.
