Manchester United can't let player power influence their most important decision for a decade

Although Ralf Rangnick has been trying to implement change at Manchester United, it hasn't happened as quickly as first hoped.

Following on from Thomas Tuchel's success at Chelsea last season, there was a real belief that Rangnick could have a similar impact at United, though there have been plenty of early teething problems.

United are sixth in the Premier League table, out of the FA Cup and would have to produce something incredible to win the Champions League.

While results haven't been perfect, Rangnick has developed a real rapport with the fans. They like his straight-talking, direct approach, and his candid press conferences mean fans are afforded a clear view of what's going on at the club.

United fans have been desperately searching for a scapegoat of late, with the manager, the board and the backroom staff all coming in for heavy criticism. But the players are just as complicit in the club's demise.

Time and time again United's players have failed to meet the standards required.

Including temporary managers, seven different bosses have graced the Old Trafford dugout since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, and despite the lack of success, there are players at the club who have been a part of all seven regimes.

Supporters are finally beginning to realise that sacking a manager doesn't solve all of a club's problems. It might be the easy way out when your form takes a turn for the worse but that doesn't mean it's the right course of action.
