Ronaldo and Keane Man Utd warnings ringing true after Rangnick update | Football | Sport

Every single permanent manager has had a similar headline precede their sacking.

United players are believe to have turned on Louis van Gaal after his stinging criticism of Marcus Rashford, while Jose Mourinho lost the dressing room with every player he fell out with.

From the outside looking in, this was as tolerable as it was unsurprising. Rashford was a very young, promising player when he felt van Gaal’s perhaps unwarranted fury, while Mourinho’s career is blighted by as many high-profile dressing-room rifts as it is trophies.

But even the charming and pleasant Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose sacking was regularly described as like “shooting Bambi”, saw the dressing room turn on him, according to the Guardian.

Managers of all personalities, playing styles, and experience have taken the reins at Old Trafford and had their hands burned.
