Following Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford, four Manchester United players are said to have engaged in an angry brawl.
Goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross, and Joao Pedro were enough to defeat Erik Ten Hag’s team for the third time in five games this season, giving United their worst-ever Premier League start.
According to The Sun, tempers boiled in the locker room after the game since United was actually played off the field on their own turf.
According to a fresh assessment released on Monday night, there were two distinct altercations. After Scott McTominay made his first appearance of the new season, it is said that captain Bruno Fernandes and teammates Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez attacked the midfielder.
United, who is now in 13th place in the Premier League, will be back in action on Wednesday when they take on Bayern Munich in a Champions League group stage match.
When Rasmus Hojlund, a new £72 million signing, was substituted on Saturday, there were boos, and as United’s miserable run of form continues, jeers could also be heard at the final whistle.
After there was no sign of a takeover, the club’s activity in the transfer market was considered a little lacking, and the way the Mason Greenwood situation was handled was, to put it mildly, less than stellar.
Assault and domestic abuse allegations have forced Brazilian winger Antony to take a protracted leave of absence, and Jadon Sancho has been expelled from the United first squad for his refusal to apologize for Ten Hag.
The England international retaliated against his manager, saying he was left out of the team for the 3-1 loss to Arsenal because he didn’t perform at the necessary level in practice.
Until the situation is handled, Sancho, who claimed to have been used as “a scapegoat,” is “on a personal training program.”
Another minor issue is that Harry Maguire is still on United’s payroll despite links to West Ham as a result of the decision to remove him as captain.
