Breaking news: Man Utd players 'underwhelmed' by Ralf Rangnick as four stars frustrated with manager
Manchester United interim boss Ralf
Rangnick has a huge job on his hands at
Old Trafford with a number of players said
to be unhappy with their current situations,
reports claim. The German was employed
to steady to ship following the sacking
of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but instead, United
appear to have somehow regressed.
Alarm bells are now ringing after United
took just a single point from matches with
Newcastle and Wolves.
Their 1-0 defeat to Bruno Lage's side on
home soil on Monday evening outlined just
how much work there is to do if United
are to achieve a top-four finish.
That is considered to be the bare minimum
requirement this term after United conceded
defeat in the title race just weeks into the
new campaign.
But away from results, it appears Rangnick
is now set to encounter problems with the
team's harmony in the dressing room.
The mirror are now reporting there is unrest
in some quarters of the squad with several
stars yet to fully take to Rangnick's ideas.
It's also claimed that Jesse Lingard,
Donny van de Beek, Eric Bailly and
Dean Henderson are all frustrated with their
lack of opportunities since his appointment.
Lingard in particular looked destined for
the exit door this month but instead decided
a new manager offered him the chance to
turn over a new leaf.
Yet his involvement has been minimal,
once again pointing towards a departure.
Van de Beek has also been continuously
overlooked as the Dutchman's Old Trafford
nightmare continues.
Rangnick is believed to have put the brakes
on Henderson's ambitions to leave the club
on loan.
Ajax had been linked - while former United
goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar strongly denied
the speculation - amongst others.
After the defeat to Wolves, Rangnick hinted
he now fears for United's top-four hopes.
“I cannot make any guarantees,” he said.
“Look at today’s performance: if I say we
are 100 per cent convinced we will finish
in the top four I don’t know if people will
believe that. It is about taking the next
steps and getting better. I knew this could
be hard.
“I knew it would be difficult – that’s the
reason why they brought me. I knew it
wouldn’t be easy to find a balance between
offensively and defensively.
"We didn’t press at all. We tried but we
were not able to get into those pressing
situations.”
United are unlikely to be active in the
January transfer market but a number
of players are now actively seeking a
way out of the club.
