Breaking news: Manchester United have an attitude problem and stroppy stars are giving Ralf Rangnick a headache, Ralf made mention of Ronaldo and here is what he said about him ..

 Ralf Rangnick is facing his first major 

challenge as Manchester United’s interim

 manager as he tries to sort out the dressing

 room unrest left behind by Ole Gunnar

 Solskjaer.



Former United defender Gary Neville 


highlighted the divisions in Rangnick’s team 


after Monday’s draw at Newcastle in his 


role as a Sky Sports pundit.



It was clear from an insipid display Rangnick 


will need time to address United’s problems


, and more concerns were raised over the


 attitude of the players. Having criticised 


their body language in a narrow 1-0 win 


over bottom-of-the-table Norwich last time


 out, the German preferred to focus on the


 lack of physicality against second-from-


bottom Newcastle.





However, Neville didn’t hold back as 


he took aim at Cristiano Ronaldo and 


Bruno Fernandes.



Ronaldo once again made a hasty exit 


at the final whistle and questions remain 


over his lack of chemistry with certain 


team-mates, notably Mason Greenwood.



Neville also hinted at a leadership struggle


 between Ronaldo and Harry Maguire 


and it’s understood that the United skipper


 has been more subdued since Ronaldo


 returned to the club.



Frustrated Fernandes has struggled 


in Rangnick’s new 4-2-2-2 formation and 


Neville was angry at the way the Portuguese


 duo behaved towards their younger 


team-mates.



‘Something isn’t right in there,’ he said. 


‘There is definitely whingeing going on. 


They are all at each other. The spirit of 


a dressing room is really important and 


I don’t think they’re all with each other 


at the moment.’


The mood at the training ground is said 


to be very low and concerns over dressing 


room cliques have not been helped by an 


upgrade to the canteen that has seen six


 four-seater booths installed.


The players are struggling to adjust 


to Rangnick’s later training sessions and


 left in the dark at 5pm on Tuesday.


Aside from the problems clearly evident


 on the pitch at Newcastle, Anthony Martial 


has told Rangnick he wants to leave just 


weeks after the new manager replaced Solskjaer.





United have rejected an opening loan offer


 from Sevilla because it only covered 


part of Martial’s £200,000-a-week wages.



Sportsmail understands goalkeeper Dean 


Henderson also wants talks Ragnick


 after growing frustrated over his lack of 


playing time.



Henderson has appeared just twice this


 term after struggling with Covid. David de 


Gea has regained his best form and the 


No 1 spot.



Henderson is believed to regret signing 


a new contract in the summer of 2020 but 


is unlikely to leave before the end of the 


season with Rangnick keen to have three


 senior goalkeepers.


Eric Bailly has also questioned his decision


 to sign a new deal last year as he continues


 to be left out despite United’s problems in 


central defence. Bailly is said to have 


openly challenged Solskjaer’s decision to 


play a half-fit Maguire at Leicester in October.



The Ivory Coast defender has only played 


five times this season and was surprised 


to receive a call at the airport on Monday 


informing him that he would be needed 


against Burnley tomorrow just as he 


was about to fly to the Africa Cup of 


Nations.




Although Solskjaer was a hugely popular


 figure at United, his tendency to avoid 


confrontation often led to problems behind 


the scenes.



Players such as Martial, Henderson, 


Bailly, Jesse Lingard and Donny van de 


Beek were given assurances over their 


roles only to be left out.



Van de Beek saw a move to Everton blocked


 by United in the summer but he continues 


to be a peripheral figure under Rangnick.



Lingard is another player unhappy with a 


bit-part role even though United rejected 


interest in him from six clubs before the 


start of the season.



The 29-year-old will leave at the end 


of his contract in June but is unlikely to 


be allowed to go out on loan next month —


 unlike Phil Jones who is desperate to play


 after two years out. Like Lingard, Paul 


Pogba will also be a free agent in the 


summer and can negotiate with foreign 


clubs from next week.
