Manchester United's intra-team problems continue to ferment, according to the British media, the club's standards continue to be lowered, refreshing the bottom line, has made many players discouraged and hope to leave the team. In addition, youth striker Mason Greenwood played too greediness on the pitch and angered his teammates.
United have been in a slump during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure, and after Ronnick took office, the situation has not improved significantly. People had hoped that the "Godfather of German High Pressing" would improve the situation of the team, but it failed to do so. Lonnick couldn't do anything about the Red Devils' locker room fragmentation and the players going their separate ways, and many players were sick to death over the current internal chaos.
According to the Manchester Evening News, those players who are not reused are the most annoyed, and sources believe that some players' negative body language is the culprit for the team's poor performance this season. In the face of difficulties, they did not bury their heads in hard work, but complained about all kinds.
Due to the sheer size of United's squad, many players are doomed to fail to play, and they naturally lack motivation in training, as no matter how hard they try, they cannot squeeze into the squad. England internationals like Jesse Lingard and international Goalon Henderson have yet to start in Premier League games this season.
At the same time, Greenwood, the Aoki king reused by Lonnick, angered some teammates and increased the team's internal problems because of his greedy style of fighting alone on the field. Aoki fans believe that Ronaldo's return has squeezed the 20-year-old genius's development space, forcing him to serve the Portuguese superstar. But in fact, Greenwood rarely gives the ball to Ronaldo.
In this season's Manchester United Premier League average of shots per game, Cristiano Ronaldo ranked first with 3.6 times and Greenwood ranked second with 2.6 times. His way of handling the ball, always preferring to cut inside, most of the time he was forced to pass the ball to his teammates after not being able to shoot, which was not the best practice.
Manchester United teammates also privately believe that the British star Lingard is more worthy of the starting position than Sancho and Greenwood. Unfortunately, United do not use form and performance as the only criterion for employment, and some players have been given more opportunities because of their age, talent, value or youth background, and even if they have not performed well, they will continue to start.
These factors have made many Manchester United players consider leaving the club, and if they do not get their wished winter transfer fees in January, I am afraid that they will have a greater resentment towards Lonnick and will also seek to leave in the next 8 months.
The Manchester United players, who have rested for two days after losing to Wolves, returned to Carrington on Thursday for training in preparation for next Monday's FA Cup third round against Aston Villa. Meanwhile, one of the Red Devils' Premier League play-off dates has been set, with the game away to Brentford going to take place on Wednesday, January 19, local time. The match was originally scheduled for the end of December, but was postponed due to the positive COVID-19 of many Of United's players. The new fixture schedule will allow United to face a dense three-week competition in mid-to-late January.
