Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has revealed that the ongoing speculation surrounding manager Erik ten Hag’s future is taking a toll on the players.
Evans acknowledged that the constant rumors of Ten Hag’s potential sacking are affecting the team’s morale.
“It does affect the players. It’s on our minds too,” Evans admitted. Despite the pressure, the experienced defender emphasized his commitment to performing on the pitch. “I think the more experience I’ve got in my career, I’ve made sure I do everything to be ready and give everything I can to the team.”
Evans praised his teammates’ spirit in their 0-0 Premier League draw against Aston Villa on Sunday. “That was the important thing to show the spirit in the team. Everyone competed as much as they could… That’s a pleasing thing to see.”
The draw against Aston Villa has done little to alleviate the pressure on Ten Hag, whose future remains uncertain. With the sack rumors intensifying, Manchester United’s players are facing a challenging period. Evans’ comments highlight the need for stability and focus within the team.
