Manchester United's form in the current season has been concerning as the Red Devils are far away from the UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season. Erik ten Hag have been under fire in the current season due to his tactics and off-the-field concerns on the side injury concerns have also made them struggle in the season they are currently missing all their defence line, with Willy Kambwala to enter as the latest one as he will be missing the game against Coventry City at the FA Cup semi-final. 

Except for the injury problems there have been some other disciplinary issues. The issues began after Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho arrived late for breakfast during Erik ten Hag's first pre-season tour as Manchester United manager. Former Red Devils striker Cristiano Ronaldo began leaving matches early, even when he was scheduled to come on as a substitute. Marcus Rashford was dropped from the starting lineup after arriving late for a squad meeting.

The Dutchman has been strict with the practice and off-the-field activity of the players. Then Jadon Sancho who has been left out of loan did not train hard enough to get into the playing side. After that Brazilian winger was accused of domestic violence against his girlfriend and supposedly dropped from the squad. 

Will ten Hag resolve disciplinary issues?

The issues did not stop Anthony Martial turned up at training at the wrong time and Rashford was caught visiting a nightclub after the humiliating defeat in the derby by Manchester City in October the winger was also accused of getting drunk at a night out in Belfast and lied to the club about his locations. 

With the footballers's indiscipline behaviours the coach needs to handle situations in a better way and not just blame a player for their poor performance, as he did against Garnacho after their 2-2 draw against Bournemouth. They will be up against Coventry on Sunday, with the hopes of qualifying for the final and meeting City for yet another Manchester Derby like the previous season.
