Resentment remains rife in the Manchester United dressing room over the selection strategy that has affected a number of players.
Certain fringe players are still expressing bitterness at being overlooked in favour of a direct rival, an issue that dates back to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's final months as manager. One player has described a teammate as a 'teacher's pet' due to their regular appearances and another player who has struggled for a regular run of games is jealous of the attention his competitors receive.
Some United players have derided interim manager Ralf Rangnick's CV and are still dissatisfied with his methods. Certain players have questioned why United hired a coach who was working as a sporting director in the Russian league and are unimpressed with Rangnick's background in Germany, where his sole major triumph was the German Cup with Schalke in 2011.
