Breaking news: Mike Phelan to take on new Man Utd role after crisis call from Ralf Rangnick, dangerous time for Ralf Ragnick..

 Mike Phelan has been tasked with unifying

 the Manchester United dressing room by 

Ralf Rangnick.

Rumours of discontent continue to come

 from within the club, who lost for the first

 time under the German against Wolves

 this week.

morale are the carrington is at a new 

lowm with divisions beginning to form.

Rangnick is concerned about the body 

language of his players, who have failed 

to progress on last season's second place finish.

The interim boss recruited sports psychologist

 Sascha Lense in an attempt to improve the

 atmosphere on the red half of Manchester, 

but such moves have not worked out.

United have only won three of their six games

 since Rangnick arrived with the tactician 

unable to implement any of the ideas for

 which he is renowned.

Luke Shaw spoke candidly after the recent

 Wolves loss and questioned the motivation

 of the group.

The daily star has now reported that 

Phelan has been asked by Rangnick to 

speak to the United squad - both collectively

 and individually - in an effort to address 

the current state of affairs.

Phelan, who signed a new contract at 

Old Trafford recently, worked as a No 2 

under Sir Alex Ferguson and Ole Solksjaer

 and continues to remain close with 

key individuals.

The 59-year-old must now play a role 

however in helping the squad get back 

on track as they languish in seventh.

Rangnick inherited a raft of problems from

 the end of the Ole Gunnar solksjaer and 

is seeking harmony as well as a clear 

style of playing at Old Trafford.

He claimed after his first defeat that the 

situation in Manchester has not surprised him.

"I knew it would be difficult," said Rangnick.

"That's the reason they brought me. I 

knew it wouldn't be easy to find a balance 

between offensive and defence.

"Today we showed similar problems the

 team had three or four weeks ago before

 I arrived. It is not an easy job to develop a 

DNA with and without the ball. The game 

today showed there are still quite a few

 steps to go."

Rangnick's system has come under fire

 from some pundits with his 4-2-2-2 

formation failing to lead to an upturn 

in performances.

Cristiano Ronaldo's return also continues

 to split opinion despite his goal return.

With the transfer window this month several 

players could consider exits with fringe 

stars like Donny van de Beek among them.
