Pep on Matheus Nunes: "He has to improve his first touch. Not precise enough."
Poch on Madueke: "He needs to raise his level. We need top level in training to play on regular basis."
Ten Hag on Sancho: "On his performance in training, we didn't select him."
Nunes and Madueke didn't put out statements calling their managers liars. They're working hard and improving because it's what professionals do, and they know that the manager is the boss.
Man City and Chelsea fans didn't attack their managers for "calling out the players" or "going public first", but certain United fans have attacked Ten Hag because they think Sancho is the boss.
Our fanbase might actually be the most unreasonable.
If a manager can't say if a player is training well or not without the player crying about it, then the game is gone.
