Manchester United are in absolute chaos heading into Saturday's clash with Tottenham Hotspur, as attempted clear the air talks ended in players turning on coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for a number of decisions, including making Harry Maguire captain at Old Trafford.
The Norwegian boss is on the brink of the sack following a 4-2 defeat to Leicester City and a shock 5-0 home loss to bitter rivals Liverpool. The coach will be on the bench to face Spurs, but latest reports suggest the players have lost the faith.
The Times reports that 'clear the air' meetings have been held between the Man Utd players and Solskjaer in a bid to rectify the situation, but little has been resolved, instead creating an even bigger rift.
The squad met with their coach two days after the 4-2 defeat to Leicester on October 16, and they were asked what they believed could be done to turn their poor form around. One player criticised his teammates for a lack of motivation in training, while another questioned Solskjaer's decision to hand Maguire the captain's armband after six months at the club.
It didn't stop there, either. Another player began asking Solskjaer why he refused to drop players who were performing badly, suggesting that the Norwegian and his staff are too reluctant to reward fringe players with a crack in the starting lineup.
