Manchester United's angry players turned on each other in the aftermath of the humiliating defeat at Everton.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer kept his team in the dressing-room for more than half an hour after Sunday's 4-0 hammering at Goodison Park before publicly apologising to fans for the performance.
The players then pointed the finger at one another during a heated exchange, and raised voices could be heard from the corridor outside as they argued among themselves.
The inquest continued at a sombre Carrington training ground on Monday in another team meeting lasting an hour as the squad were subjected to a video analysis of their capitulation.
Solskjaer and his backroom staff were so infuriated with the performance that it is understood the team chef even gave players a piece of his mind.
The United manager and his assistant Mike Phelan held a recruitment meeting after training to discuss the changes needed this summer after a run of six defeats in eight games obliterated the mood of optimism around the club.
Insiders claimed that the situation is no better than when Jose Mourinho's reign began to unravel in September and October.
The fear among staff is that Solskjaer too will be brought down in time despite his popularity with supporters if there is not a complete overhaul of the squad.

I think bringing in Sanchez and paying him a top salary more than players that are performing, has created a rift amongst players. Another reason is that contracts are delayed for players that are young and performing.

Don’t only focus on changing coaches but look into the board and players themselves too. Ole is still better than others and must be awarded enough money to recruit new players.

let us speak the truth the whole squad is affected by the viruses and curses they now play without passion ...let this season pass and sell all players instead of sergi romelò,mc tominey,and those 3 young players ..lets start a flesh with the new team with new spirit...

It’s what we called staged drama to manage everyone expectations ahead of not-so-important clash with Man City. Many of the fans would rather see their team in Europa than seeing Liverpool lifting the EPL trophy..that has been the message.

our players are lacking in confidence while in the pitch they are playing as if they don't know the reason why they are playing, they are so reluctant, too lazy, hence I second those suggestions for changing some of the players with huge wages when they are not even contributing to the clubs joy.. we changed the coach and this time around let's try to change players and if it doesn't work change both... in Everton defeat I personally blame some players though losing in football is common and normal but the means of losing matters...@ MAN U WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND WE EXPECT MORE FROM YOU.

no, Alexis is not a big problem at Manchester United club, the big problem are the players like Pogba and other players who are young in mind like Jesse lingard who are playing for pleasure, Paul Pogba has a very big problem at the man u club, he has a lot of influence to his friends, there are a lot of players at Manchester United that can make the club perform well because they have a heart for the team, players like Antonio Valencia, Macus Rashford, Alexis Sanchez, nemanja matic, just mata ander Herrera, Ashly young, romelu lukaku, Fred, macos rojo, Chris smalling lindalof, Jons. but the ole Gunner, has a problem because he does not give chances to players who've got a heart for the team to play, Manchester is all about speed and strong players.

that's the problem with man u they choose ole gunner to early the reason for the good start was because of the joy that was around the club due to Jose mou sacking I knew it was bit gonna last plus ole's choice of the starting lineup is bad why play Fred ahead of Herrera and what happened to lingard he hasn't started for a while and instead of criticising Alexis start him and see the Romelu also has potential I see no reason why he can't play along side Rashford in a 4132 formation and there is also Mata on the bench instead he's playing dalot it's just wrong so what do you expect I feel that he doesn't need to release anyone yet but go back to his drawing board and start from scratch

When we saw last 4 or 5 matches,what I felt was lukaku is not getting passes like before.. Rashford is shooting outside the box but Not passing to him,Martial is trying to run in but not passing the ball,same goes for pogba and everyone blaming lukaku for not playing well..Ole has to talk to the players or atleast change the starring 11.. Lukaku needs to play as a box to box striker and they have to put ball in box then if he didn't do anything we can name him for that..Martial needs to be dropped and sanchez needs to start..other side we have to start with mata..

Mourinho was right he was trying to build a team for United by bringing a player both young player like lindelof Fred ,Dalot,Bailley,Lukaku,bringing back Parerra, and also experience n leadership quality player like zlatan for immediate result n matic who can play defensive midfield as suporting for pogba ,harrerra,etc, but it just because of some high ego player in united team who feel themselve learning was enough for them they think as great player like pogba destroyed the team spirit of united and another thing was the united ex player who are exceptional good in criticising Mourinho the way n his style of play, which even influence the board not to sign the player he want especially in defence n even the fan also influence by so call expert pundit of ex united team which put so much pressure on Mourinho where he was not allowed to play the football of his style n philosophy. if you look at the graph of united at the hand of Mourinho was improving from first season united was in champion league through europa,second season united are second position, but inspite of these progress the ex player ,some fan keep on criticising Mourinho n media of england which inject the poison in players of the united, Mourinho has started to build the young team for united around of pogba by giving him captain arm band but he dint realised that his ego caused the downfall of united team by acting like Virus to infect for whole team.When Mourinho came to united he has long vision for staying long time in united he too want to build his legacy in long range but due to lack of little bit suport from the board for him like in defence n left wing of united that was to replace Martial by bringing evan perisic the united would be the stronger contender inthe league in third season.

Every time I am writing that the Porus defence is the main cause of down fall. Ole wanted to shore up defence with those players but they don’t care for the club. They have no feelings for the club. They are after fat wages. As they get fat wages they don’t care for game as whatever is their performances they would get the salary as is the case of Sanchez. De Gea and Pogba are trying their best to get big moneys per week. But their performance, specially for Gea is gradually dwindling. But still they trying to influence the board for having big money. Unless defence is thoroughly overhauled like Liverpool Manchester United can’t teach the height of pinnacle.

It's payback time for for what MU did to MOU because of rebellious Pogba. Biting the very finger that fed him. How we with prosper with the very squad that humiliated MOU. Untill we apologize to MOU publicly, United will never unite.

For ManU to improve, Pogba must go the way of Jose Mourinho. Pogba is like a Coach and at the same time a player. He revolted against Jose Mourinho. Now nemesis has caught him. He who kills by the sword must die by the sword.

Man U need a Leader which can lead the team in the ground and out kof the ground. There's no leader in the team. Bring a leader and leadership quality such as motivation, threat and so on. Without a leader (good captain) they will always perform below and coach can do nothing...

overrated United players. ...they were bleming Mourinho but it's the players who are not up to the standard they are jot good to play for United some of them only 2 players are among the best player in the world who play for United and it's Pogba and De Gea the rest are all average players who will not be starters at any top club in the world

back 4 has always been a problem sanchez should never had been bought mourinhio done it to spite man city and pogba is lazy and lakaku ain't the player he was bloody good clear out needed like ole said could take a few years Ferguson took 3 yrs to win his first trophy ole shouldn't rely on pogba saying about buildi g his team round him have a wage cap those don't Want it don't want to play for utd

Who is running Man u it certainly not Ole more like Pogba as he has more media coverage. Time to get contracts on the table if they wont sign and want more after this seasons performance tell them to leave.Plenty of good players willing to play for the red devils at correct uninflated wages.

The biggest problem OGS will face is that no player wants to come to United at the moment. He must not just send players packing, it will not solve the problem. If no good player wants to come in to replace the ones that has gone out, what's the point? What he must do is get rid of the bad influence first, especially Pogba, and then get to work with the dedicated players next year and put MU in a good position- then, other players will want to come in to move the club forward. I'm glad that the board is backing the coach this time around otherwise, the players will still mess up next season. Look what happened in the case of Ronaldo, he wanted a double wage but Madrid let him go despite knowing that he is the back bone of the club. That single action already sent a message to any player in Madrid who thinks he can take advantage of the club.

At this rate MU is progressing... MU won't attract big names to d club.. Why shld I if I were the player.. Management didn't treat JM with respect who can steer the club forward but they listen to the VIRUS MAN

instead of let Herrera go.. I prefer Herrera to stay and pogba must go... I like wat hung football when Herrera s in midfielder... since Herrera got injury we are just losing .. plss give Herrera a contract before not too late

the players who played for Manchester United during their glory days comprised of players who played for the club, they were dedicated to the club, gave everything they had. But if you look at the current squad, almost every player wants pay rise and personal glory. They are playing for themselves rather than the club.

The team lack leadership... nobody to motivate them. Rash doesn't care. martial doesn't care. Lingard wont make a first team at Crystal palace. mata can't mark,can't move a ball. young often loses ball.... Lukaku can't control a normal pass with one touch. matic now weak. pogba with his personal ego,he's ups and downs.. The team need restructure absolutely

At first I was sad that Utd lost but then thinking about it, it’s a good result it just goes to show that some of our players are not fit to wear a Utd shirt. From when we had a great run of winning the board was thinking, we don’t have to spend big Woodward should get the one getting the boot for the mess we are in today not the previous managers. I respect Pogba as a player but his demeanour on and off the pitch is disgusting, United needs to cash in on the guy before he brings the club down with his silly antics. One minute he’s talking about money the next minute he’s talking about move to Barcelona or Real Madrid before end of the the PL season when we are trying to capture a top four finish. I think he attitude is disgusting, I see him give the ball away so many times and can’t be bothered to win it back and when it ends up at the back of our net, you see him on the pitch dishing blame, instead of blaming himself. United does not revolve around him if we can get a good price tag for him sell him he is a cancer to the United team along with Ed Woodward. Although what I won’t like to see is United bring in another disastrous player in the name of Gareth Bale as a replacement for Pogba, it will be another Sanchez story he is injury prone. Young is a winger why is he playing in defence? And don’t tell me because of his age, if that’s the case why not play him in the second half of the game on his right position instead of his current position, I am sure his delivery to the striker would be on point. We must apologise to the guy for go forward and tracking back and that’s where he gets exposed and he puts in a shift compared to the player that come on and start showboating.

Sanchez is never a problem to man utd.....the players especially pogba,martial are not helping the team......I think is time ole goes for Sanchez....he can change everything

Regarding ole type of football from that's fast and accuracy we must allow players who can't cop Young,Fred,Lukaku,Jones,Smalling,Sanchez,Mata, and Valencia then send Mason Greenwood on loan to BvB so he get more experience and come back stronger then bring back Tuanzebe to backup Shaw and Vrij and Mensah to backup Dalot and Lindelof the from naw we have to enter the market and find this 5 players Vrij (Inter Milan 45$m) , Partey (A.Madrid $50m) , B.Fernandez (SportingCP $70m) , Lozano (PsV $40m) and T.Warner (R.B.Leipzig $60m)

Man United problems started when Alex Fugerson made that bad transition for Moyes.Everything started to fall apart.Now you need a tactician to overhaul the team and I think Ole is not the right man.Inexperience in buying good quality players and coaching as well.No doubt,he was a great player for the club.

If Pogba Can be sold, and we go in for a real captain in Thiago Silva or Rakitic or whoever is a capable to lead the team, only then will we be able to build again. There's no respect amongst team mates. And that's no good for any group who wants success.

United must have a very strong and tough coach and Ole is not suitable, during Ole's early days of appointment United won a few games because Ole let the players decide their own games and looked like everything went so well but a strong and tough manager will never let the players decide what and how to play each game.

Everybody’s an expert.you people should read and hear what ole is saying. They are not fit enough and that was shown in a graph earlier that they are running more under ole. And who was in charge earlier? Have you actually listened? He said that it will take time to rebuild and the players are not listening either as he has given enough warnings about what he wants to do.it took Alex Ferguson 9 seasons to build his team.go and read his biography and see the similarities between both coaches and what they want. Ole is not trying to buy the championship in one season but build over time

Ole should start changing that useless first eleven specially at the back...Young,Snalling,Jones,Matic those guys are nowhere close to making an appearance for game time in Man United...we need players with that hunger of the ball,,players with pride of the game and not money...the players have at the current moment a total disgrace of our club..

Good to have a pop up talk as they knew their lack-off form with NO sense of urgency to win with 4more games to grab a chance to d ECL 2020.its now up to all heads to hold high as Che n ARS flipped to drop points, but open a drum of Honey, a dot to secure full points against MC Che, HUDF n Car. MU, u can do it till d last sec. to jump on2 top 4.
