As much as I love Pogba, it seems that he's a problem in the dressing room.
I think Matic wants out too, he's playing like he did when he wanted to leave Chelsea.
I doubt that Lukaku's posturing for a new contract whilst being benched and playing like crap has impressed behind the scenes.
Alexis........massive mistake in signing that lad, many of these issues go back to his signing and absurd contract. Players now think they deserve more money because he's earning so much and doing nothing.
De Gea, he wants insane wages or out.

Anyone else?

I'll let you know once I've googled what malcontents means...

They’re the rotten ones. All need to go now.

Then there’s the likes of Rashford, Martial, Lingard who just seem lazy/ not good enough.

It’s just a shame that some of the ones that do want to play for us are not at the level they should be.

Pogba and de Gea definitely. Herrera has been treated shockingly by the club, but the situation is retrievable with him until the ink is dry on the PSG contract.

Many of the rest are just lazy or not good enough - it's Pogba and de Gea who are toxic in the dressing room.

Herrera is the only one who gives a shit

I would sell Pogba for a feckload of cash and use that in part to fund a complete overhaul. Pogba, Lukaku, Alexis, Valencia, Young, Bailly, Rojo, Darmian et al can easily raise ridiculous funds to buy what we need.

Why is De Gea toxic all of a sudden? He’s had a few bad performances but he is the least of our problems.

Pogba on the other hand...

Herrera is clearly not one of problems. Can't fault his attitude on the pitch in any game.

De Gea and Pogba probably both want to leave. Or want mega wage rises. Martial is happy to put nothing into his performances now he has the shiny new deal. Lingard is more interested in his clothing brand than his football, fair enough because his football is fecking shite.

Matic looks like he did at Chelsea, totally finished mentally. Alexis has fecked up all our future contract negotiations with his mega deal with zero return for our investment.

I am coming to the same view. Liverpool got rid of Coutinho and got better. I think we should do the same.

We would look much better if we can invest properly in our midfield and attack. The players you mentioned could generate a good chunk of money to get us going.

Basically the fans see a problem with anyone who can win us a game. We will be sure to see them off and witness another attempt to tread water with Young, Mata, Jones. Smalling Lingard and co.

We'll probably add some signings to our core of dedicated professionals and will then proceed to be outraged when this won't work.

Lose the players that have been here under three failed managers. They are the main problem, not the only, but their quality has been on show for nearly a decade of underachievement.

We need to get rid of Sánchez at all costs, even if that means paying him off. I'd be happy for Pogba and Lukaku to go too.

There's an issue in the dressing room, that's for sure.

The big question is "who the feck is it?". Most people will count Pogba, but he actually tried today.

It's no coincidence that half the team couldn't be arsed to even run just after Ole slated them a bit in public. There's some lack of character in our team and some of them overrated and average dudes need to feck off to PSG or some rich ass club.

I fear people blaming wrong bunch, i personally dont know who is it, nor i care because i believe whole squad needs purging, burn that shit to the ground and see who survives.

Martial is clearly good enough, but seems not bothered when the team is playing shite.
If he seems not bothered when the team is playing shite that means he is clearly not good enough. This is a fecking huge club, not a "please guys play well so I can be arsed" competition.

Other than 8-10 goals a season, the occasional dribble, why is he "clearly good enough?".
He played under 2 managers this season and has been 70% shite for both of them. Was tried as a winger, he sucked, was tried as an interchanging front guy, still sucked. Why do Martial fans insist he has the potential to be some football messiah?

Not trying to be a dick towards you personally, but you need to realize that Martial is just an average one trick pony. If his dribble fails then he;s dogshit. He can't defend, can't pressure, can't cross.

You can't forge a Man United career just by being a good finisher and having the occasional left-right dribble.

I think the De Gea, Pogba & the Sanchez situations have to be dealt with.

Pogba - Has never seemed fully committed, he's the best player we have on his day, but he is also regularly one of the worst players on the pitch, seeming utterly dis-interested, thats bound to rub off on other players. He is also worth a lot of money andfrankly we need it to rebuild.

Sanchez - is simply the stupidest buy in united history. It was another rash decision people got overly excited by the big name and didn't think about the what the realities and repercussions of signing a 30 year old winger to the largest contract in premier league history would be. Unfortunately due to his wages, age and current talent level, he is utterly unsellable, and we will basically have to pay him to leave. Unfortunatly we need to do that as having that contract at the club is nothing short of toxic.

De Gea - we simply can't match his wages demands, he can be greatest shot stopper in the world, all though we have seen signs over the last year that that is fading, but i'd still love to keep him, but we simply can't put any one else on wages near Sanchez and buy the sounds of it thats what he wants.

Yes we have a loads of squad players that need to be addressed but these 3 are the main issues.

I have a good feeling Young, Jones, Smalling, Lingard, and Mata will get it right next time. I'm sure whoever signs up this summer will make it work with that core.

This....you keep DDG if you can. He's the only one worth the coin....the rest can feck off. Pogba just gives up when the game isnt going United's way....sell him to Madrid for shitload of money. The rest, take what you can get. Bring in players not just big names.

It's not about Sánchez himself. It's the effect he has on everyone else. We're going to keep getting held to ransom over player contracts until he is out of the door.

Agree completely with all of this.

Actually think we might have seen the best of DDG. A goalkeeper who relies on reflexes and agility might have a limited shelf life.

Fecking fed up. Either we accept our place as a top 4 contender and lower out expectations or we hit reset and build a new core team. In the latter scenario I rather we get rid of Pogba and DDG along with the deadwood. I'd take two more years of mediocracy with our kids and plenty of new signings if that's what I takes. Id also prefer to go back to 442 with a mainly British roster.

Why is Pogba toxic all of a sudden ? Never had this reputation in France and Italy.
And it's not like he played under Moyes and Van Gaal..
Maybe his 2 seasons under the most toxic person in the football world ( Mourinho ) changed him ? :lol:

Well there was an article yesterday saying that the Spanish speaking clique aren't fully happy right now despite Mata, De Gea and Herrera being individually liked. Pogba is popular but conflicted because he has a foot in both camps. Alexis is well known to be distant from his teammates and not the easiest to deal with, similar case at Arsenal. What an awful signing he was.

I second this. All Solskjær has to do is tell the team before they leave for the summer break that there will be no pay rises and no new contracts for anyone until they've reached their targets for next season and anyone who wants to leave for another club needs to have their agent inform him before July.

Sell the ones that aren't good enough any more and promote the kids as well as buy literally anyone who can fit the system Solskjær wants to play.

To be fair, I wouldn't want to hang out with those arseholes after work either.
