Let's all laugh at Man Utd: Istanbald

Utd should hire Lage from Wolves, guy is impressive.

Maybe they’ll get Potch though,

Shaw is such a moist little ****. Think he’s had one good 6 month period in his entire Utd career.

He's doing a great job there. I thought they would never be anything other than solid and hard to beat like we saw when they peaked under Nuno a couple of seasons back but he has them playing some really slick, nice football and got them pressing well.

The Kickoff's latest video... "Will Marcus Rashford ever be World Class"

Top comment... "Only in The House of Commons"

Mckola said in that vid that Rashford who has 3 goals this season so far will end the season with 15-16 goals.

Ralf Rangnick is battling to unite the Manchester United dressing-room as he faces up to his first crisis since taking charge.

Cliques are understood to have formed within United’s squad, with interim boss Rangnick facing many of the same problems that forced the sacking of his predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

A source close to the squad claimed as many as 11 players now want to leave the club after becoming disillusioned with life at United.

An increasing number of players marginalised under Solskjaer are suffering the same treatment under Rangnick, which has led to divisions within the United dressing-room.

Many of the players are underwhelmed by Rangnick’s coaching, not impressed by his tactics and disappointed by the quality of his assistants.

His position is further weakened by his appointment only being until the end of the season.

Defender Luke Shaw admitted United’s players were not pulling together in Monday’s 1-0 home defeat to Wolves.

The source said: “It’s not good. The atmosphere is really bad and it looks like there are going to be big problems ahead for United.”

Jesse Lingard, Donny van de Beek, Eric Bailly and Dean Henderson are among those players who have become frustrated at their failure to be given a chance under Rangnick.

Solskjaer was accused of having ‘favourites’ and sticking with them, despite United’s below-par displays, and now Rangnick is facing the identical problem with the same group of players.

Lingard and van de Beek have yet to start a Premier League game this season, while Henderson wants to go out on loan this month after falling back behind David De Gea in the pecking order.

Rangnick is unwilling to let Henderson leave, but the 23-year-old is desperate to be playing regularly, to ensure he is included in England’s World Cup squad for Qatar in December.

Defender Eric Bailly, who is now on Africa Cup of Nations Duty with Ivory Coast, is another player who has become disillusioned at not playing enough, despite United’s poor defensive displays without him.

The resentment felt by players who have been consistently overlooked for selection is threatening the unity and harmony of the dressing-room, with Shaw suggesting there are issues within the group.

Ex-United captain Gary Neville pointed to divisions within the squad after a 1-1 draw at second-from-bottom Newcastle on December 27 and hinted at issues between Cristiano Ronaldo and skipper Harry Maguire.

Ronaldo has cut a frustrated figure in recent days, heading straight down the tunnel at the final whistle against Wolves, his annoyance with certain team-mates evident in the defeat.

Writing to his 386million Instagram followers, Ronaldo called for “a higher spirit and a stronger mentality” from United in 2022, but they have started the New Year in the worst possible way.

It's odd though. They've spent as much as Man City give or take, they've signed world class managers and world class players. Yet in all these years since Fergie, I almost laughed at them every single year.

Got to be something wrong there.

I just don't understand their squad building. It's a joke.

If we take Van De Beek and Pogba as AMF's (Pogba was played LW for Ole, VdB hasn't played at all), they have 11 players for the 4 positions in 4-2-3-1 formation.

On top of that they had huge amount of AMF's and ST's, who would need to play out of their best position, because there's only two spots for them in this formation.

What's interesting is that De Gea, just turned 31, is on huge wages and his contract ends 2023 with an option for another year (usually means a wage rise). He has been their best player for some time now.

Will they extend him with big wages again, or will he leave for cheap or something?

Phil Jones' contract ends 2023. He was good apart the goal mistake in the last match, so maybe they will extend him again with huge wages?

all clubs like Chelsea Man City Sp**s Liverpool Leicester even us now have better DOF and direction than UTD. they finally appoint someone who know how to scout players and sign players that fit their system but it took them 9 years to do that.

Ralf was not going to work as manager he is DOF he get famous with Leipzig because he controlled everything there maybe like Wenger. what i'll find interesting that is he going to appoint next manager? is he going to have final word on transfers?

until today utd are nothing but full of quality international players that lack system to use them and direction they clearly not motivated no wonder they all frustrated and dressing room is broken.

Reading that mirror report on the spoilt brats in the United dressing room, I never thought I'd feel sorry for United fans.

And I don't. ****s.

The abuse I got in here when I said he was a terrible hire. I was “trolling” apparently…

They really are rotten aren't they. Low key they need an assassin like teta to go in their and get rid of a lot of their dross. Would only be keeping guys like Varane/Greenwood for the long term.

Ole really took the wheel with him didn't he?

Manchester United are facing an exodus of players from Old Trafford that could hit double figures before the start of next season.

Morale at the club is at a low point after interim boss Ralf Rangnick inherited a divided dressing-room from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with a staggering total of 17 players said to be unhappy.

Many of them - including several stars - are under contract and will not be allowed to leave, but there is still expected to be a significant number of departures over the next eight months.

Rangnick has become aware of the situation following a series of meeting with players to discuss their futures.

Anthony Martial will leave on loan this month if Sevilla improve their opening loan offer, and is set to move permanently in the summer.


Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard have shown no inclination to renew their contracts which are due to run out at the end of June, enabling both to leave on free transfers and deal United a huge financial blow.

Edinson Cavani has been told that he cannot leave in January but he will also be a free agent in the summer along with Juan Mata who has options to go out on loan to Spain and MLS this month.

Donny van de Beek, Dean Henderson and Eric Bailly are all unhappy over a lack of playing time and are open to moves at the end of the season.

Although Phil Jones played for the first time in two years against Wolves on Monday, he turns 30 next month and wants regular football. The former England defender has been linked with a loan to Benfica.

Nemanja Matic, Fred and Diogo Dalot will all enter the final year of their contracts in the summer, although United have the option to extend Fred and Dalot's deals by another 12 months.

Dalot spent last season on loan at AC Milan and faced an uncertain future at United, but has so far been given more of a run under Rangnick.

Axel Tuanzebe is also under contract until 2023 with the option of a 12-month extension. However, after spending the first half of the season at Aston Villa, he joined Napoli on loan on Wednesday.

The Italian club will pay a £500,000 loan fee and potentially the same again in bonuses, although it's understood there is no option to buy at this stage.
