Manchester United release statement after Old Trafford failure affected fans at FA Cup fixture

Manchester United will look to bounce back from their draw against Burnley and break into the top four this weekend, as they host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has revealed that he has held several one-to-one discussions with Jadon Sancho in a bid to spark his Manchester United career into life.

Manchester United players arrived at The Lowry Hotel before their Premier League game vs Southampton on Friday night.

Hannibal Mejbri admitted he found it 'difficult' to understand his Manchester United team-mates' Mancunian accents in 2019.

Manchester United need a response as they prepare to face Southampton on Saturday.

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday evening's frustrating 1-1 draw with Burnley when they welcome Southampton to Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime.

Ralf Rangnick could be the latest victim of player power in the Premier League should he lose his job because Manchester United stars are 'annoyed' by his training sessions. The German coach may only be contracted in his current role at Old Trafford until the end of the season, but United have been quick to act in the past if they don't see things going in the right direction.Rangnick wouldn't be the first to lose a job in that manner, with players on occasion visiting chairman in order to share concerns about the middle man.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea believes that it is a "curse" that has prevented his side from winning any silverware over the past few years.The Red Devils last lifted a trophy in 2017 when they were managed by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.They won the Europa League and the Carabao Cup in that campaign but have struggled ever since. The appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2018 didn’t help the club return to their glory days, and Ralf Rangnick looks unlikely to deliver any silverware in his short but sweet spell in the Old Trafford dugout this season either.De Gea has admitted that he is confused as to why United have been unable to add to the trophy cabinet at Old Trafford over the past five years.He told El Pais: “I think someone has put a curse on us or something.

United's title charge has unravelled already, with the Reds having a torrid run of form which ultimately ended their title challenge just three months into the season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked, and Ralf Rangnick was brought in on a temporary basis, but even with the new boss, United have still looked far from what is expected of them.Meanwhile, the situation four miles east is much different.

Bruno Fernandes has said it would be a “nightmare” if Manchester United finish the season without a trophy.

supports HTML5 videoCristiano Ronaldo left his followers baffled as he accidentally went live on Instagram from his private sauna.The Manchester United legend’s fans responded with goat emojis and plenty of confused replies as he stared into the camera without saying a word.In the video – which had 700,000 people tuning in – Ronaldo was seen entering the sauna and gazing at the screen.He also gave everyone a peek at his back garden, and poured water onto sauna stones to give off more steam.The sudden and bizarre live stream had some fans wondering if the 37-year-old star simply clicked the wrong button by accident.One United fan tweeted: ‘Ronaldo… 400 million followers on Instagram and he doesn’t even know how it works.’Another joked Ronaldo might actually be ‘a robot’, and even his former Red Devils teammate Rio Ferdinand seemed confused.Summing up everyone’s feelings, he asked: ‘What you doing bro. (sic)’And another fan who tuned in couldn’t wrap their head around the random turn of events, as they asked: ‘Why’s Ronaldo just baking off in a sauna in a shed not saying a single word on his Instagram live?’Ronaldo is no stranger to the sauna, as his former teammate Patrice Evra previously opened up on the star’s daily routine which included a steam.He recalled: ‘When he invited me for lunch… don’t ever go for lunch, because you are going to have one of the most boring lunches at Cristiano’s.

Ralf Rangnick is starting to recognise positive signs of development at Manchester United, despite poor recent results.

Manchester United for making what he has called an "absurd" decision relating to Ralf Rangnick's appointment.Rangnick arrived at Old Trafford in December after being announced as the club's interim manager for the remainder of the season following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.The search for a new permanent boss has been delayed until the end of the current campaign, at which point Rangnick will assist as part of his new role as a club advisor.However, the decision to bring in an interim manager on a temporary basis in the first place has left Sheringham confused.Speaking to Genting Casino, Sheringham explains: “In the main, when we're talking about Man United, I think the real problem goes back to Rangnick coming in, another interim manager, it's just absurd for me.“United had an interim manager in Michael Carrick, they let him go and appointed another, it just brings uncertainty to a group of footballers that should be playing at their highest level.“Rangnick is obviously going to chop and change with who he likes and who he doesn't like.“A footballer's mentality, if you are left out for three or four games is, ‘I really want to get back in the team'.Do you agree with Teddy Sheringham's comments? Let us know in the comments section below."But when it's an interim manager you can wait till the end of the season and say, ‘Do you know what? He'll be gone before I go, so I'll wait till the next manager comes in.’“It's another season lost when you have that sort of vibe, you only need to chop and change and rotate the team a few times and you've got a lot of unhappy players.“I think the actual problem is coming from the top.

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.

Former centre-back Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United have enough about them to secure a top-four finish this season - but has conceded that nobody in pursuit of the final Champions League spot is taking charge of the situation.
