Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is refusing to bow to demands from senior players who have asked for more days off.
The Daily Mail reports that the players have also asked for an advanced notice of their training schedule.
Ten Hag and members of the players’ leadership group had discussions over their workload, and they complained about the limited number of rest days they are given and the squad’s inability to plan their time off.
The former Ajax boss gives United’s players a weekly training schedule but also reserves the right to change it depending on results.
The leadership group is made up of senior players, including Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Raphael Varane, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and reserve goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
It is, however, believed not all of them have complained, and the majority of the squad are supportive of the manager.
