Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has revealed that Jesse Lingard has described the team's dressing room as a 'disaster'.
Speaking after United's 3-1 loss against Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, Scholes said that Lingard has told him the team's recent run of results has affected the squad in the dressing room as well. He said:
"It's an absolute mess. It's a disaster of a dressing room. I had a quick chat with Jesse the other day and I'm sure he won't mind me saying he said the dressing room is just a disaster."
Following the game, Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick was asked about the midfielder's alleged comments to Scholes. He said:
"Obviously after games like today, or after Liverpool or Everton, there is massive disappointment in the locker room, for sure, this is normal. It would rather be a problem if this was different. This is for me normal but I think the whole group get on reasonable with each other, I'm not daring to say they get on well with each other. I don't see there is an issue in regard to the locker room."
The loss against Arsenal means that the Red Devils have now lost five of their last ten games across all competitions. Rangnick's side are now 6th in the Premier League tablesix points behind Arsenal in 4th, having played a game more than the Gunners. It seems highly unlikely that United will qualify for the Champions League this season.

Every coach that Man U get will keep having problems because of the set of 92 players who see themselves as pundits. They are quick to criticize everything with the club. Some of them. that went into coaching failed woefully and yet they have the guts to criticize every coach the club has got since Ferguson. Ten Hag must be care of them.
