After a disappointing 3-1 loss to Brighton on Saturday, tensions began to rise in the Manchester United dressing room. According to The Sun, tempers flared as manager Erik ten Hag attempted to restore order among his squad. Captain Bruno Fernandes confronted Scott McTominay, who had been given his first start of the season.
Lisandro Martinez, who was sold a dummy by Pascal Gross for Brighton's well-worked second goal, also reportedly 'lost it' with his centre-back partner Victor Lindelof. With just six points from their opening five games, and nine points behind current Premier League champions Manchester City, United now turn their attention to the Champions League.
On Wednesday, they face their toughest fixture in Group A, a trip to Bayern Munich. Harry Kane, Bayern's £100 million summer signing, admitted that United are in a tricky patch, but warned that they could be a dangerous team to play against. "They're always looking to fight back and get a big result, so we're just focused on playing against a really good team," he told CBS.
It remains to be seen whether United will be able to regain their composure and turn their season around, but one thing is certain: they will have to show a united front if they are to stand a chance against Bayern Munich.
