“The ruckus was heard from some of you, you made up stories and tales, you fed lies,” Ten Hag told reporters. “I know that we are all united in the club. Before the (representative) break, I told some journalists who probably didn’t believe me when I saw the news afterwards. There is peace inside the club.” claimed the coach, who is in his third season at Old Trafford.
