Surprised it’s taken this long for someone to lose their rag on McTominay shirking responsibility over and over again. Imagine sharing a pitch with a teammate who frequently has three times less touches as his midfield partners. I’d be livid doing his work for him for years too.
Reported dressing-room bust-up

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.
I wouldn't be concerned about leaks etc, 99 out of 100 teams that got beat over the weekend would have had a few verbal exchanges, it's only a story because it's us. I find it more revealing what the media don't talk about, are the press simply uninterested in other teams, or is it more clandestine?
Yep, exactly this. Don't really dig players out for lack of quality. lack of effort if where it kills you.
I bet Licha was terrified.
What makes you assume that this is the first time? Just because it was leaked now?
I would be very disappointed if there was not a bust up in the dressing room after getting schooled at home by a team that costs a fraction of the Utd team.
I would be far more worried if there was apathy among the players after such a game.
These things are not abnormal , even at successful clubs.

Thought Henderson and Lingard the leakers were gone? 
Some players have the media running to their defence at every opportunity. Wouldn't surprise me if that's the payback for the gossip they get from their entourage.Thought Henderson and Lingard the leakers were gone?
Regardless of the source, I'd be quite disappointed if there wasn't a bust-up after successive 3-1 losses.
Be great to see the fight carried out on the pitch, rather than Brighton waltzing around us effortlessly.

Licha, AH-AHH-AHHH, Fighter of the Iceman, AH-AHH-AHHH, Champion of the Sun.
Careful now. Posts like this will trigger @MasterDarcy.
To be honest players such as MCT have always remained invisible in the hope that their lack of technical ability will go unnoticed. I feel there’s a strange sense of self-consciousness that dominates his play. Not surprised if Bruno called this out
It’s the sun . . and, like every other bottom dredging gossip reporting tabloid, it’ll take a snippet of information and twist it to hell in a cheap attempt to make something spectacular out of something mundane.
They could equally have written that the United squad is furious with itself and determined to improve following some close defeats against good sides while going through a radical reset in playing style.
IMO it has next to no relevance and it’s certainly not worth getting out of shape over it.
And anyhow, if they’d written that the squad was all laughs & giggles following a home defeat how would you feel about it?

Who's leakign stories now?
Supposedly the formation was all over twitter on friday night.

To be fair we were about to sell Maguire and McT, then bring in Pavard and Amrabat.
You have to laugh. Even if the worst times of Jose and Ole I can’t recall this much ‘drama’ both on and off the field
People seriously need to stop believing everything written in the papers. It is open season on Manchester United.
If true, those feckers need to transform some of that emotion in the locker room into more passion on the pitch.
If it is true, i dont mind. At least i hope they are ashamed of themself.
Fairly normal to have arguments in dressing room in a bad period of form. It would be more worrying if they were not getting into each other. They've been dogshit and need to sort it out amongst themselves or they risk getting a manager fired.
I’m sure this is fairly normal at football clubs and is probably a good sign that the players give a shit. God knows how many ‘bust-ups’ happened under the Ferguson times with the likes of Keane and Schmeichel in the dressing room.
Tell that to Schmeichel and Keane when they had the fist fist.
Bruno isn't in any position to have a go at anyone.
A bit off topic, but do you remember when McTominay scored 2 against Leeds? He was on a hat trick when we got a penalty.
This was a chance for McTominay to get probably his only hat trick.
What happened? Did Bruno give McTominay the penalty? Nope.
A wee bit of a tangent there but Bruno is selfish and isn't captain material.
Good. Maybe if they kick the shite out of each other it might help the performances on the pitch. It never done much harm in Keane and Fergies days.
Maguire is still here.Thought Henderson and Lingard the leakers were gone?
Payback for all the media defence is he getting.
Sure. But leaking it out is not normal
Good if true
I think as long as the manager is still in control I see no problem with it. It can be healthy and shows that they care... Hopefully that will inflame their senses and instill some fire in their bellies for the next round of fixtures.
I remember watching Sealey, Bruce and Pallister constantly go at each other hammer and tongs...at times though it looked like it would spill over into a full scale fight
Then later Schmeichel came in and dragged even the quiet ones Irwin and Parker into their verbal bashings. Actually anyone within earshot wasn't safe from Big Pete.
On pitch and dressing room rows are normal and are part of the game. I'd be worried if they didnt happen.

Notice how he was the two handsome chaps who got yelled at? I'm not saying envy was the cause but it probably was.
So normal. At every level of football this happens so people, no point getting worked up about these types of stories. But because it’s United it’s news and generates a shit load of clicks.
Everything is magnified to feck with United.
Like the pap photographers around Altrincham, Wilmslow, etc. They barely bother taking photos of any City players out and about as the newspapers pay them very little, but if it’s a United player, they get good money for the shots.
It just means we are still huge even though we are wank

McTominay has a face like a baboons arse. Lindelof was probably too preoccupied with sweeping his hair over to notice he was getting yelled at.
True.
I remember a couple of years ago Rashford and Maguire swore at each once during a game at Palace and the media and a large section of the fanbase went into complete meltdown
Anything United related made up bullshit or not the more negative the better will get the clicks, views and engagement etc
Seems McT's mother posts on the Caf.
Andy Mitten was saying that too. Add Gary Neville's comments about 'bugs in the dressing room' as well. It starts becoming clearer that people know what's going on and who's responsible.
Spot on.
Isn't this a good news story? McTominay and Lindelof were absolutely shocking on Saturday, Martinez and Bruno are right to lay into them.
Good. When you get embarrassed at home and your central midfielder touches the ball 22 times you're going to have something to say. I could play and touch the ball more than that.
Ten Hag's biggest job is to root out the snakes and those that don't have the mentality for the task. Some of them work above him.

Andy Mitten was determined to pretend that our formation had been leaked despite at least one Brighton player and their manager saying how they’d been taken by surprise with our formation/tactics. And the flow of the game making it obvious that happened. You could clearly see that Brighton had to tweak their approach to get into the game, after struggling for the first 15-20 minutes.
Would rather this than they all come home and play fortnite like nothing ever happened
Bruno works his socks off every game, which is also proven by him being top three hardest working players in the league. He's the number one creator in top five leagues. He has more goals and assists than pretty much anyone in his position. McTominay doesn't even bother to sprint back trying to get into defensive positions. He has proven year after year that he isn't good enough, which is fine, but nor is his workrate of the required standard.
Only a few players in the squad have earned a right to have a go at players: Martinez and Bruno definitely being among that few.
The leaks to get rid of the manager are beginning again...
Unbelievable that this keeps happening but that useless lump of a player keeps getting games.
