The Old Trafford manager grilled his players after last Sunday’s humiliating 6-3 derby hammering at Manchester City.
Ten Hag challenged his squad on their knowledge of the club’s history and footballing DNA — and was stunned when some admitted they had never even set foot in the museum.

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