Report claims Ralf Rangnick facing fresh dressing-room revolt over treatment of Man Utd star

Ralf Rangnick is reportedly facing a fresh dressing room revolt with Manchester United’s players not happy about how things played out after Jesse Lingard’s omission from Friday night’s FA Cup loss to Middlesbrough.

Lingard missed the shock loss on penalties to the Championship side, with Rangnick claiming the midfielder had told him he wasn’t in the right frame of mind to play in the game after missing out on an exit on the January transfer window.

“He asked me and the club if we could give him a couple of days off just to clear up his mind and he will be back in the group, I suppose, next Monday, back for training and then be a regular part of the whole squad again,” Rangnick revealed ahead of the Boro clash.

However, the England star immediately hit back on Twitter: “The club advised me to have time off due to personal reasons! But my headspace is clear and I’ll always be professional when called upon and give 100 percent.’

Rangnick, though, still stuck to his initial comments after United’s cup debacle. That left Red Devils fans confused over who is telling the truth.

The German added: “We were one outfield player less on the team sheet, so why would I have allowed him [Lingard] to have four or five days off?’ Rangnick said.

“I would have loved to have had him in the squad.”
