An unconvincing 1-1 draw at Newcastle United was followed up by a 3-1 win against Burnley.

However, any momentum was stunted by the 1-0 defeat to Wolves on Monday.

“It’s not good. It really isn’t,” United legend in a frank assessment of the performance.

17 unhappy Man Utd players

It wasn’t long after the final whistle blew that reports emerged of the difficulties Rangnick is facing in uniting the group. On Tuesday, the Mirror claimed he is ‘batting to unite the Manchester United dressing-room.’

The Daily Mail have gone a step further by claiming 17 players are currently unhappy at the club.

9. Phil Jones

Jones made his first appearance in 712 days for United in the Wolves defeat and he performed admirably.

13. Axel Tuanzebe

There isn’t an option to buy in Tuanzebe’s loan deal with Napoli but considering he spent the first half of the season out on loan as well, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the 24-year-old depart on a permanent deal in the summer.
