I can see the value in your reaction. This report can not be confirmed or denied with evidence. Therefore one has to consider and take it as a possibility that there could be a rat in the dressing room and that is one of those unfortunate situations that can effect the dressing room. I just wonder about the timing of this. Why now ? Hopefully this will be an incidental one off report, because the media just loves this types of reports in order to enlarge it and create a fuss based on the premise of an assumption that a player could be the leak.
I think it is an english player. The foreign players usually have their gripe when on international duty or when they go home. Unless they have been here long enough to forge a friendship with an English journalist, they likely wouldn't know who to talk to.
Oh yes - I forgot about him. Not sure he's taken kindly to fans and others associating 'hoof-ball' with him....
That paragraph at the bottom. You're a credit to no one champ. Go support City or Chelsea. You won't be missed.
Fellaini has improved since he was quart of a player he was under Moyes.
Not this season he hasn't. Last season yes, but LvG is now convinced he can be used as a battering ram forward as a last resort. Not sure Fellaini thinks of himself as that.
It's quite possible more players think the same way but only one has spoken to a journo about it. Assuming it's legit and not made up.
That would be a massive act of disloyalty towards the manager. LVG has unquestionable faith in his captain and even with the media/fans pressure he made sure he was a starter.
The point is this 'player' shouldn't be speaking to a journalist in the first place. Take it up with the manager or Ed Woodward if he feels LVG is so bad. All this leaking just adds to the hysteria. It's wrong thing to do but footballers are footballers I suppose. What can you do?
Sensible post
Yes, you are both right of course. Let's assume this is bollox, considering the source. And although its fun to speculate, this kind of crap is potentially damaging to the club, and not very nice.
It sounds like someone who is a bit of a whinger, who wants everything to be easy. All the players will have had to adapt their games. Some are making an effort to do it, some aren't.
Someone who can also easily get the media on his side.
So it is someone who usually starts but his place is under threat?
I'm surprised too because he is the only logical player if the story is true.
Also Herrera has always said about having to change his game and actually doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Has always shown fight to get his place in the side. Yet understands that he might not always play but will try to take his chance when he gets it. This is someone who thinks he is entitled to play. The fact LvG does not trust Mata at 10. In fact would rather play Herrera there and keeps saying he needs a right winger might have ruffled his feathers a bit.
Mata is playing, but keeps getting taken off.
I think he's played the most minutes out of any of our forward players.
I don't think it about not playing, it's about the way he is having to play not showing his attributes at their best. You know it will be Phil Jones in the end.
Lot of the time I feel like he gets taken off harshly too, considering the overall squad performances.
I don't think it's the Spanish lads.
Then he should ask for a transfer.
I don't think it about not playing, it's about the way he is having to play not showing his attributes at their best. You know it will be Phil Jones in the end.
I kind of hope it is Rooney and it gets back to LVG, because that will be Rooney finished at Manchester United.I doubt it, mate - they'd probably make him Chairman and his hair Vice-president.
