Two senior Manchester United players ‘pulled apart in full-on fight’ forcing training session to ‘end early’
According to a new report, two senior Manchester United players were allegedly pulled apart after a brawl that ended a training session on Thursday.
According to The Sun, players were reportedly surprised by the occurrence in the first United training session following their devastating 4-0 Premier League thrashing at Brighton.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick reportedly witnessed the alleged confrontation and then handed further time off to United’s players, who are claimed to have had four days to recover from Saturday’s humiliating defeat at the Amex Stadium.
According to the article, tempers ‘heated over’ as a result of a poor season, training, and a connection between the players and Rangnick.
The extent of the reported bust-up at their Carrington training camp ahead of next Sunday’s season-ending encounter against Crystal Palace, Sportsmail says, has been ‘overblown’ in the article.
Rangnick was appointed United manager after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November, however he has been unable to save his team’s season.
United have lost three of their past five games by an average score of 11-1, allowing three goals against Arsenal and four at Liverpool before being thrashed at Brighton.
If West Ham beats them in their next two games of the season, the former Champions League winners could be playing in the Europa Conference League next season.
The Hammers are three points behind United as they prepare to face league leaders Manchester City and travel to Brighton, while United’s lone remaining encounter is at Crystal Palace on May 22.
When incoming permanent manager Erik ten Hag comes at Old Trafford in July, he will face a slew of challenges.
Rangnick questioned what he saw at training sessions in April, claiming that the team need “open-heart surgery.”
Paul Scholes, a club great, reportedly alleged that striker Jesse Lingard told him the United dressing room was a “disaster.”
Ten Hag clinched the Dutch title with a 5-0 home win over Heerenveen, giving Ajax an unassailable advantage over PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie standings.
