🏃♂️ Manchester United’s 𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗜𝗧 squad are in for a big shock when they discover the fitness levels Mauricio Pochettino demands.
🗣️ Harry Kane at Spurs: "If you're tired, he wants you to train harder so you don't get tired… when we train, we train at 110%."
🗣️ Morgan Schneiderlin at Southampton: "His philosophy is 'Cry in the week to enjoy the weekend.' Sometimes we would work so hard in the gym that we'd go on the pitch and our legs were shaking."
🗣️ Ben Chilwell at Chelsea: "It reminded me of going back to youth team days when we used to call it getting beasted."
🗣️ Kyle Walker at Spurs: "We had the famous thing called the Gacon. The only person that I've ever seen complete it was Dele Alli – he was an animal at running."
🗣️ Hugo Lloris at Spurs: "He was very demanding. We used to train so hard so then games would feel easier."
🗣️ Jay Rodriguez at Southampton: "The training is really hard but it is working for us. We do a lot of power running."
