Of course, the first team were playing twice a week, so no doubt the training was somewhat lighter for someone playing only reserve football. |

As mentioned, Evra has said similar. He's never worked so hard in his life etc. Which Tevez had warned him about, btw. Wonder how easy it is to step up the intensity to the work and preparation without rocking the boat. Either way, they don't seem to have been too successful so far. And Van Gaal especially was never going to take it easy on them to get his feet under the table. Quote:

says something about pogba's attitude imo. the best players take the initiative; there are numerous accounts of cantona, giggs, beckham etc staying behind to practise long after training had finished, and that was during fergie's peak years. horses to water and all that.
meanwhile pogba is seemingly unable to stand out in these slack training sessions and ferie remains curiously unwilling to pick him, despite his obvious ability. then juve turn up with a wheelbarrow full of cash and, lo and behold, the @#%&! is willing to get out of bed on a morning. i take your point though. there's a good argument for a culture of complacency running through the club, but perhaps churlish to pin it all on ferguson: at some point, the coaching staff and senior players have to take the initiative too. that's where keane was such a big loss; he wouldn't have tolerated that approach from anyone. |

I see where siders is coming from. Fergie's success allowed him to have autonomy. His longevity made people forget what life without him was like at United and for a lot of these younger players they wouldn't have known. So Fergie could do as he please and well.....get away with it. No one really complained about Pogba's departure until our problems rose after he retired. He didn't leave behind a self-sustainable structure with the first team and youth.
It will be interesting to see how Arsenal fare without Wenger for that reason. |

I feel like Fergie could get a lot of pointers from van Gaal's process. Tbh I worry why and how such a slow possession based team often looks so tired in the final 20 mins. Make me wonder if van Gaal is overtraining them, and that that Dutch fitness coach is right. |
