In the Premier League, United has won only two of the last five matches. In the Champions League, The Red Devils couldn't gain confidence during the midweek match. Partly due to a painful performance by Andre Onana, Bayern Munich defeated United at their own home.

'I know there will be setbacks, and I also know that you can become stronger through them. That's what we're working on in the dressing room,' said Ten Hag ahead of the away match against Burnley. The Dutchman hopes to turn the situation around quickly, but Manchester Evening News reports that there is unrest in the United dressing room.

According to the regional newspaper, some players are starting to struggle with Ten Hag's criticism. 'Sources in the dressing room say that some players feel Ten Hag has favorites in the team. He wants to shield them from criticism. Other players, on the other hand, feel that they are constantly singled out by the manager.'

It doesn't stop there. 'Certain United players also feel that they have been put in a difficult position to execute Ten Hag's tactical instructions. In the squad, there is a sense that his approach has been compromised by Antony's absence.'
