Manchester United’s squad are rumoured to be divided behind the scenes with several players reportedly unhappy with star man Cristiano Ronaldo’s intense leadership.
Ronaldo, 37, rejoined the Red Devils last summer in a blockbuster move from Juventus and while fans were overjoyed with the Portuguese megastar’s decision to return to the club, it hasn’t taken long for the rumour mill to start turning.
There has been increased speculation that the squad’s senior players are becoming fractured with multiple suggestions that there are rivalries behind-the-scenes, largely caused by the presence of Ronaldo.

The latest journalist to weigh in on these claims is BILD reporter Christian Falk, who has sensationally claimed Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire are two of a handful of English players unhappy with Ronaldo’s approach to leading the team.
In response to the shocking claims, Rashford has recently taken to his social media to fire back at the suggestions he is not happy with the squad’s set-up and instead called for unity.
Are we just making it up as we go along now then? Please stop looking for divides. https://t.co/gVwQuYMwx4

Ronaldo is the leader of the pack pure and simple and whether this article is true or not all youngsters in squad need to learn to pay their dues learn respect and pass him the ball at all times.. or go somewhere else to play…. Rashford Sancho Greenwood Elanga etc… specifically … need to pass the ball
Idk why they don’t let Ronaldo take charge in the dressing room he’s the oldest player at UTD so since he’s the oldest he will have lots of experience leading people
