Nowadays, tensions are only becoming intensifying around Manchester United, whether it is players who are private debating about the merits of Ruben Amorim's system or staff who fear more cuts as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos use the Bijl.
Players take criticism from experts, fans protest against price increases such as ticketing, while social media have staged a storm or two for harmless reactions that have been left on sites such as Instagram.
All this is only increased by the fact that on the United field continues to struggle, the 13th in the Premier League table with a -6 target difference for the weekend trip told to take on Tottenham Hotspur.
Amorim's team stays in the Europa League and FA Cup, but this season was full of difficult times on and next to the field.
Nathan Salt from Mail Sport has taken some of the most important battlefields in recent months …
Scholes vs Martinez
One combat brewing has recently been folded back Lisandro Martinez at United Great Paul Scholes.
Scholes did not bump when it came to the state of Manchester United – and in particular on Martinez and his ability to be part of a Premier League -winning rearguard.
“Even when he is fit, he is not good enough to win the Premier League,” said Scholes on the overlap on Sky Sports.
In response to Scholes, Martínez wiped on social media: “This Jinx man really hurts …. You placed him in Argentina, and he would not survive.”
Scholes was rather pretty free of Martinez, but starts to change his tune to the annoyance of the Argentinian.
Martinez is currently on its way for the rest of the season and will undergo surgery on his knee, as revealed by our husband United Confidential Column, but he refuses to look the other way when it comes to criticism from club legends.
Scholes is convinced that the only way out of the malaise of United is even more editions – despite the fact that they plunder £ 600 million among Ruben Amorim's predecessor Erik ten Hag.
“I think a new keeper is needed, possibly two central halves, two midfield players and two central forward,” said Scholes.
Sancho vs the club
This came to a peak this week and in particular many in the fan base irritated after he made a 'freedom' remark after the debut of Marcus Rashford on loan in Aston Villa.
Sancho itself is currently owned by Manchester United and on loan in Chelsea. United still pays in the region of £ 50,000 of its weekly wage and his tone deaf commentary lights of anger ignite.
United supporters were quickly knocked back in the suggestion that the two players were somehow trapped in Old Trafford, and sources close to Rashford indicated that he does not appreciate the teammate in his former United and England teammate of the teammate To be dragged from the United States with the club.
Sancho's relationship with United has felt for some time and this newest step has further underlined the decoupling between player, fans and club.
Chelsea will cause an obligation to buy Sancho in the summer and it will finally put an end to the miserable time of the Englishman in Old Trafford, where he publicly compiled former boss Erik ten Hag and ultimately alone eating and training as relationships that acidifying.
Amorim vs Rashford
This threatened to be quite ugly, United had not succeeded in finding a resolution in the January transfer window.
Amorim had not played Rashford for the last 13 games before he sealed a loan movement to Aston Villa.
He even went so far that he said he would rather choose his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Jorge of vital importance than the international English international because of his attitude towards training.
“I couldn't show Marcus how you should play football and train as I see,” Amorim's damn verdict came after the loan movement was sealed.
It was of the utmost importance that a new house was found for Rashford during the January window to prevent a cloud over player and manager from hanging for the rest of the campaign.
Since then, Amorim has shown the idea that it will be 'humiliating' or 'embarrassing' for him, Rashford should go on a goals in Villa Park.
And in reality both parties needed time, apart from the other, because Rashford was in the cold and was a non-factor under Amorim.
Ratcliffe vs fans
Fans have not been shy to express their dissatisfaction with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos ownership group.
Away in Fulham, a competition he attended, were offensive songs in his direction aimed by the road fans, while after the game after the game he was confronted by a group of angry fans.
Ratcliffe took over the daily running of United of the Glazers after he had acquired an interest of 28.94 percent in the club.
Since then he has made a number of financial decisions that have irritated the fan base, namely when United announced the introduction of the middle season of a fixed rate £ 66 ticket for members, without concessions for children or pensioners and no prior consultation.
“Just like the glazers, Jim Ratcliffe's Ac ** t,” the songs came to Fulham.
In the video that appears on social media who confront Ratcliffe directly, it can be heard “We are northern people, come tailor -made – sort it out,” said a fan.
'Sixty pounds you b ***** d. F ** K you Jim Ratcliffe. F ** k you. '
“Worse than the glazers, size,” came a reaction from another fan.
Ratcliffe has shown that he is not afraid to make uncomfortable and unpopular decisions, but fans are becoming more vocal, especially around the issues of ticketing.
In December Ratcliffe caused indignation among fans after an interview he gave with the United We Stand Fanzine.
In it, the Ineos chef clearly stated that the fans of Manchester United should not pay any less for tickets than Fulham fans.
As a reaction, the Supporters Trust (MUST) of Manchester United wrote a highly formulated open letter to Ratcliffe.
“Now is the worst possible time” to increase ticket prices “with versions on the field under the worst in decades.”
“A price increase or significant changes to the ticket policy would be very bad with fans at the moment,” their letter must be said.
'Negative sentiment comes with financial costs, while the dissatisfaction escalates into active protests and disillusion.
'This dissatisfaction can lead to outright rebellion, with consequences not only for income in the match day, but also for sponsoring relationships and the global brand of the club. Sponsors depend on a passionate and committed fan base.
'Strangers of supporters risk damage these critical partnerships. Dissatisfaction also reduces the discretionary expenditure of fans. '
Ratcliffe vs Club -Personeel
One of the most loaded collisions here is Ratcliffe and his vicious cost savings in Manchester United.
As soon as they took over daily control, one of the first things to do Ineos and Ratcliffe was drastically reducing the size of staff. As a result, they made 250 fired – a quarter of the workforce.
Now, as exclusively revealed by Mail Sport, Ratcliffe and Ineos are now planning to make more than 100 further dismissals at United.
The move is aimed at freeing cash for Ruben Amorim to spend on the first team, while they want to bring the club back to its former glory. Despite record income, United has lost £ 300 million in the last three years.
Moral around United has been decimated since the arrival of Ratcliffe and Ineos and it came to a head of the festive period when the annual £ 100 staff bonus was demolished and replaced by a voucher of £ 40 m & s.
Employees have been left in the dark about the newest planned cuts, where a lot is looking for updates to journalists to see if their jobs are safe or not.
On Wednesday it arose in the Times that the popular long -lasting head of team operations Jackie Kay, who has been in United for almost 30 years, would leave the club.
Ratcliffe vs Ashworth
A job that quickly became clear would not be safe for long, was that of former sports director than Ashworth.
The former Fa Guru was held at Manchester United after just 159 days, where Ratcliffe is central to pulling the plug.
Ratcliffe had previously mentioned Ashworth A '10/10 sports director ', but it was not long before mumbling from dissatisfaction to surface.
Mail Sport understands that there were worries that Ashworth, which was located at the Carrington training basis of the club, did not make enough cuts in the football department as part of a broad economy that Ineos is urgent.
There are also claims that he was not completely behind the recent appointment of Ruben Amorim as a new head coach, who prefers an Englishman such as Gareth Southgate or Graham Potter.
In the Sami Mokbel column, it was sketched that sources with knowledge of the situation considered ashworth as too indiscriminately, in particular with regard to a definitive plan with regard to the future of the previous manager Erik ten Hag and the potential successor of the Dutchman. That was said, made no impression on Ineos Chief Ratcliffe.
The fans vs Zirkzee
This came to a highlight when some supporters turned a visibly emotional Joshua Zirkzee after just 33 minutes in the home destruction against Newcastle United.
It has been a difficult start of life at Manchester United for the former attacker of Bayern Munich and Bologna.
But he deserves the honor of turning things in recent weeks since that Newcastle voderning.
The general sentiment under the Match-Going Crowd is that they are at Zirkzee and rooted for him to do well.
It was Zirkzee that you scored that was the same as the goal against Leicester City in the FA Cup before Harry Maguire then went into a stop time winner.
