Boiling cauldron of Man United, young strong man Arnold
The atmosphere in the locker rooms of Manchester United looks like a volcano ready to erupt. Its footballers are not alone.
The atmosphere in the locker rooms of Manchester United looks like a volcano ready to erupt. Its footballers are not alone. Everyone for their own reasons. Cristiano Ronaldo criticizes and criticizes, the interim coach, Ralph Rangnick knows the discomfort of footballers where not more or less 18 of them are said to have asked to leave.
The departure of
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemed to bring calm to
Old Trafford, however the first defeat (1-0 and even at home) of the new year by the Wolves, brought to light, ghosts of the past.
Ragning is facing his first crisis as there are already several players against him. In fact, they have even asked to leave the club. Their number is growing and they have already reached 18 those who wish to continue their career elsewhere. Others are frustrated by their limited playing time, others feel marginalized (especially by Solskjaer) and others argue that they continue to be treated similarly or worse by the new coach.
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville also referred to a "split" in the locker room between the players themselves. He even points out the "clash" of central defender Harry Maguire with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, as he publicly showed his frustration with the results and the poor performance of the team.
"I think sometimes the quality is not enough. I think we need more intensity. We need more spirit and a stronger mentality," the Portuguese wrote on Instagram, provoking the reaction of his teammates. Like the international left back, Luke Shaw, who after the last defeat of the team, stressed: "I think sometimes the quality is not enough. "I think we need more intensity."
Manchester United's new coach Ralph Rangnick knows very well that things are not easy. Many of his players who want to leave have a special contract and still cannot leave so easily.
The 13 players whose names have been made known (of the other 4 remain unknown at the moment) are: Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Edison Cavani, Juan Mata, Donny van de Beck, Dean Henderson, Eric Bailly , Phil Jones, Nemanja Matic, Fred, Diogo Dalot and Axel Twanzebe.
Ragnig, however, recently stated that Cavani is out of the question as he is considered a valuable element of the team, while the defender, Phil Jones, close to the German coach, seems to have been reborn.
New CEO
Meanwhile, the management has appointed Richard Arnold as the new CEO, replacing Ed Woodward, who from 2005 onwards was essentially the "strong man" of the legendary club. Initially, he started his career with United as a financial advisor and climbed the ladder of the hierarchy.
Richard Arnold, who formally takes over his new position from February 1 until now, has had no involvement in sports or running a team. From 2007 onwards, however, he works as a financial advisor, like his predecessor. And now he is undertaking an extremely difficult task….
