Good. Hopefully shows some of em still give a shit.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss United's last 3 games - two much-needed wins vs. Burnley in the Premier League and Palace in the League Cup, as well as a the 4-3 loss away at Bayern. They discuss the defence, new options in midfield with Hannibal and Amrabat now in contention and look forward to games vs. Palace (again!) and Galatasary.
‘Firm handshakes and heads held high: inside the United dressing room post Brighton’
Nothing story. Happens all the time in football. Players fight after training, after bad results. Blown out of proportion just cos we are the story right now.
I hope it was a royal rumble
Come of it.
I would have yelled at McT as well. What a lazy horrible performance. He didnt even tried to fight for the team, i know we all/many wished he would be sold but come on.
I miss the good old days last season where the defenders celebrated every good tackle. Like Dalot vs Leicester when they defended a corner. There is no doubt all the media badshit is affecting the team and they all wants to be fired up again.

Exactly... this should be no surprise. I would be concerned if they were not sorting s*** out in that changing room, training ground etc.
Bruno is a prick in public so I could only imagine what a w*nker he is behind closed doors.
Ten Hag calling out Sancho in public has now snowballed into this. Not good.
Shat themselves on the pitch, no shit left
Bruno is David Brent and Mac is Tim.So in this analogy Bruno is McTominay's boss? No wonder we are struggling!
To be honest, I'd be more worried if Bruno hadn't confronted McTominay after that shitty performance. All the three of the other CMs got on the ball at least three times as many times as he did. Ridiculous. Likewise Martinez and Lindelof butting heads. That's the accountability you need in a football team after a crap team performance.
The fact it leaked out is annoying though. But it's always been that way. Journos have their contacts in the team and they'll use them to get whatever tiny tidbits of gossip they can get. In the grand scheme of damaging leaks this story is, obviously, completely trivial.

This is not news. Has anybody ever played a competitive team sport?!This is normal after a home defeat like we suffered.
Good to see.
I often ask myself the same question...
Although, thankfully, the replies from people who clearly haven't do seem to be in the minority this time.
Look even our most successful teams used to have rows and fights. Schmeichel, Bruce, Pallister, Neville.. they’ve all said it. Throw in Keane too, no way he holds back. Fergie used to say that half the time he didn’t have to say much
Impossible to keep everything under wraps, it's just usually it doesn't matter. But the crisis narrative gives a nothing story legs.
Article says Lindelof and Martinez were ar each other. Interesting how bias can make someone assume something though.
Good.
Looks like there’s another fecking snake in the group leaking stuff to the press again. I thought we’d taken care of this problem when we got rid of Lingard and Henderson but obviously not.
They're quoting The Sun though, so not necessarily a different source.
As folks have said though, I'm glad they're at each others throats. What's important is they settle it, rather than allow things fester in silence
Unsurprisingly, I was in rows on the pitch, during matches, I had a left full playing behind me for a season and he was a lazy prick.
To be fair I'm very excited if we sent the whole first team to Dubai and play the u-23Just play the U23 team for feck sake!
Ahhh man. Its going to be a fuuuuuun season. My heart probably wont be able to withstand the drama and onslaught.
Ah well sure look.
So what if we lose, at least i can root for the team once again
I don't think it would have been quiet, so anyone around could have picked up on it. Notice there are no quotes or details as to what was said.
Why are people so daft actually believing every article that comes out.
Gary Neville chats unfounded shite like "I wonder if they are bugs in the dressing room" with pure guesstimation, and the gossip outlets jump on that because they know its easy clicks.
What's embarrassing though is people actually falling for it here.

Unless you're 6 foot+, in prime physical shape, etc, I guarantee that you would not have yelled at McTominay.
Love how the net gives fans cyber-courage and turns them into peak Mike Tyson.
Exactly, how has it gotten into the press...
100% fine. I'd expect a bit of blood on the dressing room floor and some hard truths being spoken after a performance like that. Nothing to worry about
Except when it comes to United, there's actually some truth behind it
I would laugh at Nistelrooj joking about Ronnie's dad, but it seems that it's true.
So not everything is fake news.
The Sun. Nah.
It’s the sun but imma get annoyed anyway
The club has had a poor start to the season and the media jump on the bandwagon, every little bit of negative news gets thrown out there.
They'll move onto over dramatising events at another club soon enough.
That being said this isn't a negative news story for me...shows at least some of the players are showing passion.

Yeah, McTominay has been hiding on the bench.
Sometimes its okay to admit Martinez and Casemiro haven't played well. Not sure if they were 'hiding' or not.
Thats your logic? United have had these issues before so 5 games in - reports from the Sun must be accurate? Even though it was cleverly timed after Neville's ill informed punt?
Well.. one of them will use his head and the other will duck
I would be pissed too if I were Bruno or Martinez. Both Lindelof and McTominay were repeatedly caught strolling back into defense after losing or standing too high up the pitch. I mean, if you are out of position, you bust your guts trying to get back in. Too many of our players just stand with the hands on their hips or strolling about making no effort to track back. Say what you want about players like James, but at least they ran their lungs out:
If that was McTominay or Lindelof, they wouldn't even bother - yes James lost the tussle, but he at least tried. Effort is the very least one can expect from players.
You dont have to be stronger or higher to tell your teammate to get your sh*t together and fight for the win. When a captain yells at you, if he is correctly selected everybody should listen and amid it simply isnt good enough.Unless you're 6 foot+, in prime physical shape, etc, I guarantee that you would not have yelled at McTominay.
Love how the net gives fans cyber-courage and turns them into peak Mike Tyson.
We dont need physical fights, we need a team who demands things from the teammates, who love the passion from football and are willing to run like hell against a good Brighton team in a difficult game. If we want that top 5, there are no space for mad jogging players who lost faith in the progress. I hope to see Amrabat going badshit crazy, yells and make perfectly timed tackles just like the WC, because that is one of the reasons they won so many games.
Come on. I like Scott but he has been hiding on the pitch for ages now. He actively goes to positions not to get the ball, it's obvious.
Casemiro has been awful this season, Martinez has been average (Below his standard of last year). They definitely don't hide though and they still have fight. Not sure when you think I said they played well...... Coming back to your point about assumptions...... And I never even mentioned Casemiro anywhere in any post so weird that you threw him in.
