One player has described a teammate as a 'teacher's pet' due to their regular appearances and another player who has struggled for a regular run of games is jealous of the attention his competitors receive.

Some United players have derided interim manager Ralf Rangnick's CV and are still dissatisfied with his methods.

Marcus Rashford considering Manchester United future
Marcus Rashford is considering his future at Manchester United after he was left out of the starting XI for the defeat to City.
Rashford has started two of the last 11 Premier League games and his situation was aggravated in the 4-1 thrashing at City, where Anthony Elanga started ahead of Rashford in what was the 19-year-old's ninth league start.
Rashford's role on the bench was particularly striking in the absence of fellow forwards Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.
United manager Ralf Rangnick revealed he considered playing Rashford through the middle but chose a strikerless formation to match City, with Bruno Fernandes playing as a 'false nine'. Rashford and Jesse Lingard came on in the 64th minute for Elanga and Paul Pogba.

Kieran Trippier tells Man Utd what skill Mauricio Pochettino may be missing
Former Manchester United transfer target Kieran Trippier has provided the Reds with an insight into what the players could expect from Mauricio Pochettino if he is installed as the club's next permanent manager.
The Argentine, who is currently in charge of Paris Saint-Germain, is one of the frontrunners to become the Reds' next manager, along with Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.
Pochettino was identified as a suitable candidate several months ago and United saw an attempt to lure him to Old Trafford back in November knocked back.
Since then, Pochettino has continued to be consistently linked with replacing Ralf Rangnick ahead of next season. He is understood to be keen on a return to England and becoming the next occupier of the United managerial hot-seat.
