"Up to 11 players now want to leave United after becoming disillusioned with life at the club."

I don’t know how much truth there is in these articles but, on the basis of no smoke without ( a lot of) fire, I wish now we had hired Conte to go in hard on these jokers. If you consider the true elite as City, Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, how many of our current squad could hold down a place at those teams?

None. Not one.
 
They don't like anybody's training methods. Every manager since SAF has brought an outburst from the various squads we have had.
Except, strangely, the previous coaching staff that have been forever derided by the fans were almost universally praised by the players.
 
One thing about this "cos he's only the interim, some players are not motivated to impress him" thing...

But they know he's going to be moving "upstairs" to an advisory role, so I don't quite buy it.

He can from the Summer, "advise" the club and the next permanent manager to ditch this or that player because their attitude stinks.
 
Well the article states that they are struggling with the 4222 so it could be just as simple as that, that they don't feel he's the right guy for the prem. Now i'm really curious to see whether Ralf can finally get it to click, or give up and try something else more suitable with the players he has.

Struggling with the 4-2-2-2 after very few training sessions and an outbreak is understandable and ultimately, it may not work.

But I don't care what formation you play, if players are terrible on the ball and don't run. That's on them.
 
This noise could be coming from fringe unsettled players - wish we knew who it was

As somebody said, they didn't appear to listen to Ole or his coaches when Liverpool thrashed us, or City toyed with us or Watford finished Ole off. They think they are winners, didn't see that in the EL final.

They have always been sloppy with the ball, have always made awful decisions up front, that is not Ralf's fault. That is because some of them are a bit useless and others are thick.
 
I'm firmly behind Ralf, and even have a bit more sympathy for Ole now in hindsight. There are some proper cretins in that dressing room.

I remember the defeat to Newcastle away couple of years ago, Longstaff scored the winner, an awful performance from the players. it was a very dark day for Ole and the club, Ole was honest with the media and said what he said in the dressing room about the players getting him the sack carrying on playing like this.

It's funny how Ralf saw an equally poor display against Newcastle away. The 1-1 with Newcastle recently will stay with me for a long time, I don't think I've seen a team with 70% possession be that poor, it was an unbelievable game of non-football.
 
These players are a joke. Complaining about a manager who they know will only be coaching them until the end of the season… They’re just a bunch of entitled pricks who think they know better.

I’m glad they’re complaining now because Ralf can get rid of them all over the next 2/3 years in his consultancy role.
 
Looks like this squad have downed tools on another manager.
If it's true it's a massive kick in the balls.

Hopefully he will take a ruthless approach but I doubt it.
 
If this is true. It’s no wonder we can’t get past semi finals or win a final. We are so mentally weak it is disgusting. Bunch of prima donna babies who aren’t willing to roll up their sleeves and work for anything. Completely against what United has stood for for so long. When I think of united I think of a team whose players work their socks off and will work harder than any other team combined with flare creativity and passion. We basically like all of those things today with the side
 
And many Man United fans undoubtedly agree on one thing, feck the lot of the moaners.

Oh there’s no doubt something happened that has made them down tools in the last few months, but I’m not sure I’ve seen coaching or a coach being questioned this early in his tenure before. Must be some kind of record.
 
Seems RR has asked for 100% ….however, some lazy, useless, overpaid leeches don‘t want to give 100%
 
There are cliques within the Manchester United dressing room, a source has told Sky Sports News; United lost their first game under Ralf Rangnick on Monday night as Wolves punished another poor display; Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has questioned the togetherness of the squad

Article
" "There's a leadership struggle going on. Harry Maguire is the captain, but he doesn't feel like the captain."

In other words Ronaldo
 
Fully expecting the players to be abused and booed off the pitch on Monday now. Deserving after this week of noise. It also won't help when they are beaten and well out-fought by Aston Villa. Amazing how quickly things have changed. Gary Neville lamented how unlikeable Mourinho's squad was and praised how Solskjaer had addressed that issue.
 
Should push the full metal jacket on them.

Player plays shit. Gets full wage and the ones who play great get £1 for a weeks wage.

Soon see some black eyes

Exactly. A club with working class roots who had their soul sucked out by the Americans and mercenary players
 
They can't play his system, but managed it for the first 30 minutes against Palace.

I'm sick of these gutless wankers. feck the lot of them off.
 
fecking fannys. Don’t want to be here? then feck off.

Hopefully some will this window and if Rangnick can get a couple in who do want to be here then all the better.
 
Looking at the way Ragnick speaks to media, he looks more professional and do not seem to have "me n myself" personality like Mourinho unless he is Jekill n Hyde.
It's an achievement that he managed to lose dressing room in record time. I really don't know who is right or wrong but from whatever I have seen, I am on Manager side and want players to give their best on pitch whether they like it or not. I am okay if they want to go because
1. It'd be difficult to offload them as they are on mega money
2. I want only those players who are committed to United and want to play for us.
If they really want to be out that bad they should accept a lower wage elsewhere. If not they can rot on the bench for all I care. We can play the youngsters. Would be fun to watch I reckon. At least they'll bloody run.
 
If they want to leave rather than just get RR out then it means he's doing something right.

I've wondered for a while if bringing in pros like Cavani and Ronaldo has really shaken up the dressing room and too many players who've been coasting previously are finally being held to account.
 
Can I play my wildcard?
So sick of these players, long half a season coming up
 
" "There's a leadership struggle going on. Harry Maguire is the captain, but he doesn't feel like the captain."

In other words Ronaldo
Because he isnt one for a big club. Ronaldo has chopped his balls off merely walking through the door.
 
He absolutely has to identify the ring leaders and drop them. And tell them why they are being dropped. And not play them until they apologise.
If he does that, I am sure that the majority of the fans will fully support him.
I apologise for being really really bad. Ffs
 
" "There's a leadership struggle going on. Harry Maguire is the captain, but he doesn't feel like the captain."

In other words Ronaldo
That's not a leadership struggle that's an existential crisis.
 
Who are the obvious cliques at the club?

The Brazilian and Portugese ones led by Ronaldo and Bruno.
The English ones led by Maguire and probably Jesse.
The Spanish ones, Cavani probably mixes with them.
Donny himself.

Who else?
 
This is shocking. I thought that Ole's team with its British core and all that United DNA would give their heart and soul to the badge. After all they understand the club right? Does that mean that Ole's team is a mess and we need a rebuild?
 
Throught the last few yrs fans have questioned the workrate of our team and these leaks just confirm, were they to be believed, that our players have no appetite for hard work.

I'm sure that if tomorrow the whole 1st team squad was transfer listed,most fans won't be shedding many tears. Disgraceful behaviour by some, dragging the club down and perhaps match going fans should let them know how they feel!
