The mood in Manchester United’s dressing room is low.

That won’t come as a surprise given how poor United have been since the beginning of the season. It is clear that the players are lacking confidence and it doesn’t help that several key players are ruled out with long-term injuries.

On top of that, United have lost eight games from 15 so far this season and there is increasing unrest among a numbers of players. The stats read worse when you consider how we’ve conceded three goals in consecutive home defeats for the first time since 1962.

According to the Manchester Evening News, players are starting to doubt Erik ten Hag’s management and there is simmering resentment among certain players towards teammates.

The ownership situation is also having a negative impact on the players because they are believed to be ‘unimpressed’ with the general direction of the club.

It is suggested in the MEN report that some players feel Ten Hag tends to protect perceived favourites in the squad while rounding on others.

These players often point the finger of blame at anyone but themselves! United could sack Ten Hag and we’ll be talking about unhappy players again in 18 months. This is the cycle we need to get out of and Ten Hag deserves to be backed.

  1. How would the MEN know? Only by a leak from the dressing-room which, if even if such a leak exists, is likely to be one sulking player who thinks he should be getting more playing-time.
    I’ve said before: time the players took responsibility. Attitude of a lot of them stinks, time to wise up, guys.
    Play like this – you won’t make first 11. Your transfer price will diminish as will your desirability to another club.
    Most of we fans can’t earn in 20 years what you get paid ( I won’t say ‘earn’ ) on a weekly basis. Don’t look to us for sympathy.

  2. Sack that fucking ten hag now or the season get worse why do you beef your players? See the sancho-de gea-ronaldo incident. Sack it we bottoms up!
