Breaking news: Manchester United worst fears come through as Ralf Ragnick faces the challenge of his life in the dressing room.
Ralf Rangnick reportedly faces major
dressing room unrest with multiple outlets
reporting a crisis is unfolding at Manchester
United.
According to The mirror, cliques are said
to have formed in the dressing room, with
Rangnick facing a battle to unite his unhappy
stars.
It’s understood up to 11 players want to
leave United, particularly those who have
hardly gotten any minutes, even under the
German boss.
The Mirror goes as far as claiming the
players aren’t pleased with Rangnick’s
coaching or his tactics.
A source reportedly said: “It’s not good.
The atmosphere is really bad and it looks like
there are going to be big problems ahead
for United.”
The sun confirms the dressing room unrest
but adds that some players feel more senior
teammates have too much influence Ragnick
in regards to the big decisions
Ole gunna solksjaer was often accused
of playing favourites and it seems the former
RB Leipzig man is being accused of the same thing.
The Sun have their own source who said:
“The players have their own cliques, one of
which is making the others feel like they need
to step up a level when it is the whole team
that’s struggling.
“The players are demoralised. This is deja vu
of the previous years when things went wrong.
“The fans probably think the players are not
fit enough to put Rangnick’s plans into action.
“That is so untrue. Certain players have just
lost that knack and desire.
“Plus, there is a belief within one section
of the squad that some players get selected,
regardless of their displays. So everything
is a complete shambles.”
The Sun go on to claim Rangnick has
a reputation for being ‘aloof and overconfident’,
with some players openly stating Tottenham
Hotspur’s Antonio Conte should have been
appointed instead.
It’s said they expect PSG’s Mauricio Pochettino
to be handed the reins in the summer.
According to the Daily rest the unrest is
being caused by a ‘fringe group’ who don’t
understand why they haven’t gotten minutes
despite the team’s poor form
Rangnick is described as ‘cooler’ and ‘more
distant’ but is accused of playing favourites still
, with the mood at training being described as
‘oppressive’.
The Mail claim up to half the squad is unhappy
and senior players openly discuss the group
and atmosphere as being the worst they can
remember.
One thing the outlet does add is that Solskjaer
was asked by some staff why he didn’t expose
the players who threw him under the bus but
he essentially turned down the idea.
It’s said there was surprise in Germany
when Rangnick landed the job and that he
has been detached since joining, preferring
coach Chris Armas and psychologist Sascha
Lense to deal with the dressing room mood.
The realest also confirm the unrest but claim
it’s the third of the squad and no more that want
to leave.
It’s not just players too, with some coaching
staff also keen to leave as another overhaul
is expected of the club.
It’s said there’s recognition the Covid outbreak
hasn’t helped Rangnick but other clubs have
faced the same without such a downfall in
performances.
One thing The Telegraph says that’s different
to the others is that Rangnick’s stance in not
letting players depart could backfire if he hopes
to build a united team.
