Bruno Fernandes: Erik ten Hag demands from people 'you do it, or you're out'

Bruno Fernandes spoke to Rio Ferdinand about Erik ten Hag in an interview for the BT Sport series 'Between The Lines' The Dutchman is demanding and no one in the team is an authority above him. "He demands from people 'you do it, or you're out'

You don't play.
Everyone in the beginning was a bit like 'if a big player doesn't do what he wants, he will pull him apart or what?"- he said, as quoted by eurosport.com Erik ten Hag has asked Marcus Rashford to be consistent.

It seems that such authority was necessary for a club like Manchester United. "And he did it many times, he did it with Cristiano [Ronaldo], with Jadon [Sancho], with Marcus [Rashford] also.
Marcus did something wrong, and the manager just put him out and everyone was like 'wow'
I was sitting with David [De Gea], and I said 'this has to be like this' because if not, the younger ones will think 'if he does nothing to him, next one he will do nothing to me too'
So he demanded there from Rashy 'you have to be consistent in everything', not only in your game and your goals and your performance, but off the pitch also."

Bruno Fernandes on Marcus Rashford

Bruno Fernandes believes that consistency is what the club needs.

The Portuguese also spoke about the main difference between Marcus Rashford then and now. In addition, Jadon Sancho also had a big transformation after his return. "For me, confidence," Fernandes said.
"Marcus with confidence, not that he's unstoppable at the moment, but he's someone that can change the game.
The confidence on Marcus - and also on Jadon, for example - is a big lift for them to feel like 'wow, I'm in a good moment, I know that I can create things, I can generate things'".
