Manchester United owners Ineos are “furious” after the opinions of captain Bruno Fernandes were leaked from the dressing room in recent days.
The Red Devils have made a slow start to the season despite an investment of €250 million in the squad.
Ruben Amorim finds himself under the threat of being sacked after watching his United side win only one of their first four Premier League matches of the season. On top of this, his side was beaten by Grimsby in the Carabao Cup.
With scrutiny on the Portuguese at an all-time high, the last thing that Man Utd needed was for doubts to be raised over the coach.
The Daily Mail reported these earlier this week as it claimed: “It’s understood some players have never been comfortable with a 3-4-2-1 system that was introduced when Amorim succeeded Erik ten Hag in mid-season last November.
“Even one of his staunchest allies, captain Bruno Fernandes, is believed to be unhappy operating in a deeper midfield role.”
Ineos respond to dressing room leak
Owners Ineos are said to be livid with the details of private locker room thoughts being made public.
United In Focus reports: “The one thing the club are furious about is the potential of leaks again, seeing stories about players and squad members not being convinced by Amorim or his tactics.
“The club thought they had really stamped this out, they see it as totally destructive to what they are trying to do.
“United firmly believe they are building something, but they won’t and can’t allow internal discontent to impact on the club as a whole.”
Amorim had thought he had weeded out the dressing room issues by offloading several players seen as disruptive influences during the summer transfer window, yet it appears that Man Utd remain saddled with this issue.
It is something that neither the coach nor Ineos will appreciate.
