Kurt Zouma 'set to be dropped' by West Ham after cruel cat abuse video

Premier League side’s flops as the players reportedly become ‘frustrated’ with Ralf Rangnick’s training sessions. The Red Devils have improved their results, if not their performances, since Rangnick took charge, but still face an uphill battle to finish in the top four.They currently sit one point adrift of West Ham, who occupy the final Champions League qualification place, with performances having been increasingly disappointing.United were dumped out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough last week, before being held to a point by relegation-threatened Burnley in their return to league action on Tuesday.Matters at the club hit another low point on Friday when ESPN reported that the United squad are ‘becoming frustrated’ with Rangnick’s training methods.Their complaints are said to centre around the fact that the German places a heavy focus on 11 versus 11 work, rather than dynamic drills.United’s interim boss has put his focus on improving his team’s organisation and shape, which has led to an improved defensive record since he replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.But some players are said to have hit out at Rangnick for his ‘old fashioned’ method despite that turnaround.What do you think is the cause of Manchester United's recent problems? Let us know in the comments section...And they have now been slammed for doing so by the club’s supporters, who believe the fault for their poor form lies with the squad, not Rangnick.“They used to be so bad at 11v11, now they're better and they're complaining?” one supporter tweeted.“Hopefully they feel so strongly they put in a transfer request and request realistic wages at their new club so the move is quick,” another added.“These lot have not challenged for the big prizes for years.

West Ham.But in one fell swoop this week, the likeable Scot has undone all this great work following his shambolic handling of the now engulfing the Hammers.To recap. In a mindless act of cretinous proportions, video footage emerged on social media of Zouma kicking and slapping his pet cat, to bring more shame on the reputation of pampered and privileged millionaire footballers.This all took place in full view of his child, but despite the public outrage and some grovelling apologies from both Zouma and his club, Moyes' idea of teaching Zouma a lesson was to pick him in his starting XI for the midweek game with Watford.Moyes wants to get into the top four and the Champions League, which would be worth upwards of £30million.So a club which also has a vice-chairwoman with expertise in brand awareness in the shape of Karen Brady, has taken the decision to put money before morals.Read the room, David.
