Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is demanding his players learn about the club's history.

Ten Hag grilled his players after last Sunday's humiliating 6-3 derby hammering at Manchester City.

He challenged his squad on their knowledge of the club's history and footballing DNA — and was stunned when some admitted they had never even set foot in the museum.

A United insider revealed to The Sun: “The manager was furious with the performance against City.

“He was saying to the players that anyone representing Manchester United cannot freeze and get beaten so badly.

“He said: 'You're playing for United. Do you not know what that means, given the history of the club?'."

The source added: “He asked them what they knew about the club. When some said they had never been to look around the museum or only walked through it, he was astounded.

“He's visited twice since joining this summer.

“He has told all the players they need to make time to go in either before it opens or after it closes, so they can learn more about what it means to represent United."
