Sources: Marcus Rashford at heart of Man United dressing room mutiny as tempers fray and stars rebel
Marcus Rashford is among the Man United stars unhappy with Erik ten Hag’s methods as talk of a dressing room mutiny reaches fever pitch, sources have told Football Insider.
It is believed the Englishman is one of the big names at Old Trafford who have lost faith in the manager and believe he cannot get the best out of the players at his disposal.
Sources told Football Insider that Rashford does not like the style of play implemented by the Dutchman, 53, and is not a fan of his training methods.
The 26-year-old started 13 of United’s first 14 games in the Premier League this season but has been reduced to substitute appearances in their last two games against Chelsea and Bournemouth.
It was reported that ten Hag has lost as much as half the dressing room after they became disillusioned with his training methods, play style and the treatment of banished £73million star Jadon Sancho.
That information corroborates what Football Insider has learned and first reported on 20th September as tempers fray behind the scenes.
United have lost 12 games in all competitions this season including their recent humiliation against the Cherries in a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday (9 December).
Rashford has been a star player at Man United since 2016, scoring 125 goals and providing 72 assists in 379 appearances in all competitions.
However, this season he has managed just two goals and four assists in the misfiring side.
Their inconsistent form in the Premier League put them sixth after the Bournemouth defeat while their hopes in the Champions League are thin with their four points leaving them at the foot of Group A.
The next face Bayern Munich in their final European group-stage game and will need a win against the group leaders and a draw between Galatasaray and Copenhagen to advance to the knockout rounds.
