Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Jesse Lingard to concentrate more on being brilliant and less on bling.
And Marcus Rashford has had the same warning.
The Manchester United boss has been backed up by No 2 Mike Phelan as the pair keep working on improving the spirit in their dressing room.
Solskjaer and Phelan are understood to had separate discussions with attacker Lingered who last Christmas launched his own “Be Yourself” fashion label.
It forms part of the 26-year-old’s JLINGZ brand which also peddles aftershave and iPhone cases.
The Old Trafford management team are concerned that Lingard is not fully focused on making himself a better player.
And that his close pal Rashford is also in danger of being sidetracked when he should be concentrating on making himself United’s No 1 striker.
Lingard launched his clothesline last December, a week before his side were going to Anfield.
Ironically Lingard scored in December 16 loss but going into yesterday’s clash with Leicester City hadn’t hit the net for United in four games this season.
Rashford scored 2 in the opening – day 4 – 0 win over Chelsea but his form has been disappointing since.
There were no goals in his next three games and he did not score in England’s 4 – 0 European Championship walkover against Bulgaria.
Since replacing Mourinho, Solskjaer has battled hard to spark up the United dressing room that had split into various factions.
Early this month he is understood to have raged at his players following a 1 – 1 draw at Southampton, calling them “a joke” as he lost his cool
He and Phelan are now trying to lay down the law not only to Lingard and Rashford but the whole group in a new bid to induce team spirit and unity in a season that is liable to make or break the manager's career as United boss.
