EXCLUSIVE: Erik ten Hag risks INJURING Manchester United stars by punishing them with 13.8km run on a day off after the Brentford loss, says a top LA sports scientist - who 'assumes' fitness staff 'intervened' to stop it

A Los Angeles-based doctor that specializes in sports science says Erik ten Hag has risked injuring his Manchester United players by making them run 13.8km in the heat on their day off.

Sportsmail reported how a furious Ten Hag made his team cover the exact distance which Brentford outran his side by when the Bees defeated United 4-0 in Saturday's late game - the shock result of the Premier League weekend.

The Dutchman scrapped the planned day off for the Red Devils in order to unleash his wrath on the team but according to Dr Rajpal Brar, he has risked doing more harm than good to his players.
