Sir Alex Ferguson’s ‘disgust’ spotted by Man Utd fans in Old Trafford crowd

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. Does Harry Maguire now have to be dropped? Let us know in the comments section.A fourth fan put: “I don’t think this no-look defending by Harry Maguire will catch on…”And a final United fan added: “Earlier this week I compared Harry Maguire to Michael Keane. Watching Everton today I realise I need to apologise.

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.

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! Can Manchester United finish in the top four? Comment belowRonaldo came into the contest with his longest goal drought in 12 seasons.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes ahead of the early Premier League kick-off against Southampton.The former left-back was lurking around Old Trafford on Saturday morning as the Red Devils prepared to bounce back following their disappointing 1-1 draw to Burnley on Tuesday.Scholes arrived at the stadium ready to offer his insight on BT Sport as a pundit alongside Glenn Hoddle but was met by a scheming Evra outside the ground.The 40-year-old Frenchman was filmed hiding behind a team bus, waiting for his Scholes to pass before sneakily catching his former teammate off-guard from behind.Scholes, who eventually spotted him, embraced Evra as the two walked arm-in-arm and shared a joke.The official Manchester United account tweeted an initial clip, writing: “We see you @Evra,” before captioning the second clip in question: “As does Scholesy… eventually!”United fans at Old Trafford would no doubt wish their two former icons were back on the pitch following another poor result midweek.Do you think Man United would compete for the league if they had Scholes and Evra in their prime? Let us know in the comments section.The Red Devils went into the Southampton fixture knowing a win is vital to their hopes of achieving a top-four finish this season.Manager Ralf Rangnick, meanwhile, was positive on Friday ahead of the clash despite reports of a disgruntled dressing room.He said: “I can only tell you what I have experienced in the last few weeks.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant Daily Star football email newsletter!From the latest transfer news to the agenda-setting stories, get it all in your email inbox - don't miss a thing.It only takes a matter of seconds.Simply type

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League tussle with Southampton at Old Trafford this lunchtime.

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.

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

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.

Sir Alex Ferguson was left fuming by Sven Goran Eriksson's decision to take an injured Wayne Rooney to the 2006 World Cup rather than let him recover with Manchester United.The legendary Scot often locked horns with international bosses who looked to call up his United stars when they might've been better off staying with the club due to injury concerns.The most infamous occasion came when England boss Sven looked to take a 20-year-old Rooney to the World Cup in Germany, with a precautionary CT scan on his foot going ahead on June 7.With Ferguson telling the England boss that he Rooney should not travel unless his is at 100% fitness, Sven ignored him and Rooney quickly paid the price in training.Speaking on Amazon Prime documentary, Rooney, England and United's record goalscorer admitted that he never considered staying behind in England.He said: "I remember thinking, it is my first World Cup, how can I not be there?"I need to do everything I can to be there. And I did, I was in oxygen chambers, I was back and forth seeing specialists."Was Sven right to take Rooney to the World Cup? Give us your thoughts in the comments sectionWith Sven saying: "Sir Alex did not want Rooney to go.

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.

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.

Manchester United players would "get a slap" if they mentioned the treble during their historic season.The Red Devils' 1998/99 campaign, which ended with Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League glory, is the greatest ever by an English football club.While rivals Man City won the domestic treble in the 2018/19 season, it doesn't come close to the achievement of Sir Alex Ferguson's side.United players would have been forgiven for getting excited about the prospect as season neared its conclusion.But Teddy Sheringham has revealed he and the rest of the squad daren't do that for fear of the response they'd get.During an interview with Genting Casino, the former striker was asked if captain Roy Keane would calm them down if they got over-excited. He replied: "I think actually, the manager was always like that, very straight-laced, very Scottish."He’d say, 'What you getting excited for?'."We had a captain that was very serious at that time, he didn’t have to say it, he might just look at you.Is the treble-winning team the best of all-time? Let us know in the comments section."Someone in the team could mentioned it after they’d scored a goal or when we we’re winning in the league, 'Oh, the treble'."'Don’t even say it.

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.
