Ralf Rangnick sends warning to Manchester United players after Martial and Van de Beek exits

Manchester United chief Richard Arnold is reportedly eyeing Ajax’s Erik ten Hag as the next permanent manager.

Gary Neville believes Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl has summed up Manchester United's problems perfectly following the two sides' 1-1 draw on Saturday.The Sky Sports pundit took to Twitter after reading Hasenhüttl's post-match comments, suggesting he completely agreed with the Austrian's rather bleak assessment of his opponents."It’s not a big secret that when [United] lose the ball the reverse gears are not the best from everyone," the Saints manager said.In response, Neville tweeted: "Imagine being a Manchester United player and having a respected opposition manager say that about you."United missed the chance to leapfrog West Ham into the top four after being held by Southampton at Old Trafford.Jadon Sancho grabbed the opening goal of the game, which was just his second league goal all season, before Che Adams equalised for the visitors.Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed an open goal in the first-half, has now gone six consecutive matches without finding the back of the net - his worst run since 2009.Did Southampton deserve more than just a point against Manchester United? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...The work ethic of United's players has been called into question a number of times this season and fans have accused some of the club's attacking players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, of being reluctant to work hard and press for the team.The Red Devils have struggled for form and consistency all season and there have been rumblings of discontent behind the scenes for months which only seemed to be exacerbated when Ralf Rangnick took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November.

Cristiano Ronaldo appearing to spit in the direction of Anthony Elanga has sent social media into meltdown.After Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday, a viral clip did the rounds showing the superstar appearing to gob on the back of his teammate.The more likely explanation is that camera angle deceived viewers.There’s a chance that Ronaldo spat behind the Swedish teenager and it just looked as though it hit him.But that didn't stop thousands reacting to the footage.One wrote: “At least he had one shot on target.”Another said: “Anthony Elanga get that head of yours washed immediately.”Another responded: “I saw this during the game and thought I imagined it but wtf.”United dropped two points at Old Trafford after a breathless performance from Southampton. The game finished in a 1-1 draw and Ralf Rangnick told players that they must learn to be headstrong and “get nasty” after they left the field to a chorus of boos.

Manchester United fans are worried Cristiano Ronaldo's days as a world class finisher could be over after he missed an open goal against Southampton on Saturday.The 37-year-old fluffed his lines completely after rounding Fraser Forster in the box with the goal at his mercy before prodding the ball limply towards the net, only to see it easily cleared by Saints defender Romain Perraud.The match finished 1-1 after Jadon Sancho gave United the lead in the first-half before Southampton hit back through Che Adams immediately after the restart.Ronaldo now hasn't scored for six consecutive matches - his longest drought since 2009 - and it's beginning to get to the United faithful, who appear to be losing faith in him."Ronaldo: finished," tweeted one fan after the game."Maguire needs to be binned and maybe Ronaldo too.

Manchester United icon Paul Scholes hit out at Bruno Fernandes after his poor performance in Saturday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Southampton. United once again spurned a first half lead, with Che Adams striking just after the break to cancel out Jadon Sancho's opener. It's been a nightmare week for United, who also dropped points against Burnley in the week.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes launched an almighty tirade against his former club following their 1-1 draw against Southampton on Saturday.The 47-year-old, who never seems to pull punches when it comes to United, slammed Ralf Rangnick's side for being "all over the place" and lacking any sort of centralised plan."I think that’s the feeling around the place. There’s a lack of interest now.

Harry Maguire had another nightmare in a Manchester United shirt with some comical defending against Southampton.Armando Broja, 20, ran the experienced centre-half ragged at Old Trafford in the 1-1 Premier League draw.The latest damaging result for United highlighted their frailties at the back once again.Just days after Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez and Wout Weghorst destroyed Maguire for their equaliser at Turf Moor, Southampton enjoyed inflicting similar pain on the United captain.One incident in particular a few minutes before the final whistle summed up the Red Devils defender’s problems.Broja turned him inside out in a tussle at the Saints broke, showing how far off the pace Maguire is right now.Fans of United and rival clubs mocked the England man, as one joked on Twitter: “I’ve seen milk turn faster.”Another asked: “How is this Carthorse still playing in the PL?”“Harry Maguire has invented no-look defending,” one person posted off the back of Broja’s neat turn.

Manchester United’s frustrations were summed up by the home supporters pleading with the side to “attack” on 80 minutes against Southampton.Jadon Sancho opened the scoring for United at Old Trafford in the first half before Che Adams brought the Saints level just three minutes into the second half.With ten minutes remaining the game was still square but United did not convince the home support they were pushing hard enough for a goal.As a result their fans become audibly annoyed with the lack of application.One commented online: “Honestly, the foundations have now been set under Rangnick but there’s a need to rip the book up(!) and get us playing productively.“Bench out-of-form Ronaldo, go with youth up front and attack!”Another said: “Stretford end screaming "ATTACK ARRACK!" I have never seen this before.”One wrote: “Chants of 'attack, attack, attack" coming from the United fans, what's this the SuperBowl?.” Another took aim at Ralf Rangnick: “Attack, attack, attack” for the first time in the stadium today. First time since Mourinho.

Bruno Fernandes looked to swing at James Ward-Prowse after tussling with him in the middle of the pitch. Southampton played Manchester United at Old Trafford, a game that ended in a draw, and were trailing 1-0 thanks to a Jadon Sancho goal when, on the hour mark, Fernades got into a scrap with their playmaker.

Daily Star Sport takes a look at three things Rangnick got wrong.In what is becoming a far too familiar trait for United fans, the Red Devils were unable to make their first-half dominance count. After creating more than enough to wrap up the points within the opening 45 minutes, Southampton stayed in the game and levelled the scored with their first chance of the second half.Ronaldo’s missed opportunity within the first ten minutes, which saw him skip around Forster, but drag his resulting effort so much, Perraud had enough time to clear off the line.The draw against the Saints was the third time in four Premier League matches that they have dropped points from a winning position.If they cannot stem this frustrating habit, then the next permanent manager will not take over a Champions League side.HAVE YOUR SAY!
