Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is confident of the commitment of his players before the World Cup.
Ahead of facing FC Sheriff in the Europa League, Ten Hag was asked about speculation that players don't want to play in order to prevent getting injured and boost their chances of going to the World Cup.
"I don't think this is the case because focus is so important because when you don't have the right focus the risk of injury is even more. You want to be in the right shape and form so it's important to keep the rhythm so for every game you have to be good and prepared. That gives you a better chance at the World Cup too.
"In the season we are in an important block, we want to be in Europe, qualify as number on in the group. Pls in the league we need to get in the right position and then we have the cup, we want to win every game and every trophy so we have to go for it. Stay in the right mood and right focus and the spirit of the team."
"They have only one week and the World Cup starts, keep in rhythm and fitness and then they will be ready. It's not optimum of course, it's a different World Cup."
