Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is gone, but the problems remain. Ralf Rangnick has taken over, had some wins, but they were far from convincing. What’s even more worrying for the manager and the fans is that Manchester United played against relegation strugglers Norwich and Newcastle United, and against two worst defenses in the league, the Red Devil’s manage only two goals. But the main problems, left from the Solskjaer era is still there – dressing room mood and leadership.El Matador preserves Rangnick’s unbeaten record against the possessed MagpiesIn their 1-1 draw last night, United lacked passion, willingness and physicality to win the game, and if it wasn’t for De Hea, they would have lost from Newcastle. And Ralf Rangnick claimed that Manchester ‘won a point, not lost two’.“I didn’t like the performance at all. Today we didn’t control the game apart from a few moments. It’s all about energy, physicality and who wins the second balls. In all those areas we weren’t at our best. The good thing is we got a point but the performance needs to be better. Today was not a question of body language, it was a question of body physicality. If you want to be competitive here you have to get physical and this was not the case in many parts of the game. I was not happy with our performance with the ball or when we had to press. What kind of energy mode do we play with the ball and without the ball?” said the German to Sky Sports.Newcastle United want to loan their former player from PSGSky Sport TV pundit Garry Neville, who played for a much stronger United side didn’t mince words when it came to match analysis.“No positives. Nothing. They’re whinging at each other! They’re a bunch of whingebags! Watch them on that pitch, arms up in the air, complaining about everything! Honestly, they’re absolutely shocking out there in that first half. They got the last manager the sack! Ralf Rangnick is not going to get the sack, he’s only had a few weeks with them, but they’ll get a lot of managers the sack, that lot, if they carry on like that. They’ve got to sort themselves out because it’s massively below what’s expected”Martial’s art to be removed from the Theatre of Dreams: French forward demands United exit ahead of the Newcastle tieFormer United player also pointed out to a much bigger problem in the squad – dressing room mood and leadership.“Nothing to do with the manager, by the way. It’s to do with the players out on the pitch. Not good enough. Rangnick will have hated that tonight. I think Rangnick will be genuinely worried. The attitude, the basics, something just isn’t right in there. There’s definitely whinging going on. They’re all at each other, they’re not helping each other, and the spirit of a dressing room is really important. I don’t think they’re all with each other at this moment in time. There’s a big of a leadership struggle going on; Maguire is the captain but he doesn’t feel like the captain. Ronaldo has come in, and has maybe upset Bruno with the hierarchy in the team, Cavani comes off the bench, a senior player. Ole was struggling with it towards the last few months, and now Rangnick is struggling with it. Those players don’t look happy out on the pitch, and they need to get that right” said Neville.
