TV pundits have already branded Manchester United players as the ‘coach killers’ and they have been right. After all, many of them are former United players and have a good knowledge of the situation and the mood in the club. And the mood is not good either. United dressing room is divided, many players just want to leave and coach Ralf Rangnick doesn’t know how to handle it (so far), as Daily Mail reports.‘I cannot make guarantees for the top four’During Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign, players were also not very motivated to change or do as they were instructed during the tactical meetings, and yet, nothing changed. Norwegian used to pick the same players over and over again which caused a stir among the players on the bench, who were baffled why they are not getting the chance if the first 11 are not playing well. Solskjaer is said to have made it worse by putting an arm around their shoulders and making promises he could not keep. Players prefer to be told straight.(2.10) CHELSEA (3.45) TOTTENHAM (3.50)According to Daily Mail, the mood at Carrington is so bad it has been described as oppressive. Up to half, the squad is said to be unhappy. Senior players talk openly about this being the worst group and atmosphere they can remember. They are a disparate, divided bunch split into cliques. When Cristiano Ronaldo, who is said to be shocked with the situation since returned, decided to organize a team-bonding dinner in November, not everybody came.Double moves in one transfer window: do you remember those players?One of the first things Ranginck did when he came to the club was to hire a sports psychologist and then warn the players to sort out their awful body language. Even Luke Shaw openly spoke about players not being ‘all together on the pitch after a Wolves defeat. And just before the January window opened, Anthony Martial hurried to announce that he wants to leave the club. Players such as Edinson Cavani, Donny van de Beek, Dean Henderson, Juan Mata, and Jesse Lingard also want to leave. They also see the same situation as with Solskjaer: the same players are being picked out without any result. And the ones who are playing are simply not putting enough effort, and that has been the situation for seasons now, and nothing happened, only managers changed. Rangnick will have a tough time changing this group until May, when his time is up. And he also has to change this formation, since his preferred 4-2-2-2 is not working.
