One unnamed Manchester United star 'is questioning Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's call to make Harry Maguire captain six months after joining', as more reports of dressing-room disharmony emerge

The discontent at Manchester United continues with under-fire manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly questioned by one first-team player over why he appointed Harry Maguire as captain of the club

The Red Devils are going through turmoil at present, having conceded nine goals in their last two Premier League matches - a 4-2 defeat at Leicester City on October 16 that was followed up by a humiliating 5-0 home loss to bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday.



And according to a report, a clear-the-air meeting between players and management occurred just two days after the former result - with players not holding back on their opinions

The Times claims that one aspect that had irked a member of the squad was the elevation of Maguire to captain just six months after joining the club

Manchester United resume first-team training following Covid outbreak in the squad - as Ralf Rangnick's men aim to be back to host Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday

Manchester United are expected to return to their Carrington training base today and resume training operations, following a  Covid-19  outbreak across the squad. On Monday United were forced to shut down their training ground for a 24-hour period in order to combat and minimise the spread of the virus. As a result Thursday night's  Premier League  fixture away to newly promoted  Brentford  was postponed, though there remains hope United can return in time for the weekend. On Saturday the Red Devils are due to face Graham Potter's Brighton at Old Trafford, in the 12.30pm kick-off slot.

 💬| It would be wrong to say that Solskjaer "can't" organize a defense. We saw on numerous occasions in 19-20 and 20-21 United play in a very compact organized shape It just seems like in 2021-22 he's actively choosing to not organize his team - to very predictable repercussions The criticism against Ole was always "yes, we know he can organize the team and get stuck in against the big guys, but what happens when teams let United have the ball? He falters."  He always could & has organized a defensive team at Man United, he's just *not* doing it this year 100 percent. I recall reports during pre-season about a change in system, and we have seen united move away from what really worked for Ole.  For me I don’t think you should ever sacrifice defence for attack. Attack should be built on defensive solidity to succeed. He’s trying to transition to a more pressing style with a higher line but the adaptation mid season is so risky and not paying off atm....
