And he explained: \u201cStrict lines is the point, it is what the club asked me because there was no good culture before I entered last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo to set good standards, that is what I did. That is my job: to control the standards. Of course, it is never someone only makes one mistake, it is a whole process before you come to a certain outcome about strict lines. If [it is] staff or players or whoever, there is a structure to cross lines so you have to be strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
United will be without Sancho and fellow winger Antony, who has been given a leave of absence while he addresses allegations against him, for Saturday\u2019s match against in-form Brighton but Ten Hag insisted: \u201cThe squad is strong, in good spirits and a good mood going into the game. You have sometimes setbacks in seasons, players who are injured or for other reasons are not available, so you construct a squad and the squad is very good and the players who are available and motivated to give a good performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

England manager Gareth Southgate said the treatment of the defender was \u201ca joke\u201d and Maguire\u2019s mother branded it \u201cunacceptable\u201d.<\/p>\n
And Ten Hag added: \u201cIt is disrespectful He doesn\u2019t deserve it. He is a great player and gives great performances. It is crazy but how it works. Harry has to block this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are available to face Brighton but Mason Mount and Raphael Varane remain out, though both should be back soon.<\/p>\n
