Manchester United ignore rumors to focus on Chelsea
Second-year Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will look to prove his squad is still invested in his project when it hosts Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea on Wednesday.
The seventh-place Red Devils (8-6-0, 24 points) saw their three-match Premier League win streak halted on Saturday in a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United.
And despite some strong recent league performances, disappointing results in the Uefa Champions League group stage have contributed to rumors of dissatisfaction within the squad.
Ten Hag insisted on Tuesday that such stories aren't based in reality, and that the effort shown in recent matches – despite mixed results – are proof his team has team bought in.
"The majority want to play like this – proactive, dynamic, brave – that is what they want," he said.
"You can see the players are behind it because of the performances against Everton and Galatasaray, we are really improving, we can't make the goal we did against Everton if the players don't embrace it."
