Rangnick hopes to finally meet new Man Utd boss ten Hag
Manchester United’s senior stars have reportedly complained the club have too many ‘Instagram players’. The club have endured a horrendous season under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick. And things could get even worse today, with the Red Devils in action against Crystal Palace.
Manchester United thought they’d challenge for the Premier League title back in the summer, especially when they landed the likes of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But that hasn’t happened, with the Red Devils winning just 16 of their 37 matches so far.
Solskjaer was sacked back in November and Rangnick has, in the time since, seen results go from bad to worse.
Now, ahead of United’s match with Palace, the Daily Mail claim senior players have ‘complained’ about the club’s transfer policy.
It’s said they believe the Red Devils have too many ‘Instagram players’ and are prioritising image over achievement.

Man Utd's decision to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo has rankled with the squad (Image: GETTY)
And Frenkie de Jong, Ruben Neves, Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips have all been linked as potential replacements for the pair.
Up top, United know they can’t rely on solely Ronaldo for goals.
So that’s led to them tracking Darwin Nunez and Antony, who have sparkled for Benfica and Ajax respectively this summer.
Meanwhile, ahead of United’s match with Palace, Rangnick has reflected on his time in the dugout.
And the German has admitted he’s failed, insisting he wishes he and his coaching staff had been able to get better results.

"I'm more than self-critical. I should have done better" said the former RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim boss.
"I expected that me and my coaching staff could have developed this team in a more sustainable kind of way.
“We couldn’t and it’s not only the players who should be blamed, it should be ourselves.
“We all could and should have done better but there are obvious reasons why it didn't happen.”
If United beat Palace today then it will mean qualifying for the Europa League - a tournament they previously won in 2017 when Jose Mourinho was manager.
