Cristiano Ronaldo and Man Utd players arrive for practice, after nightmare !!!

 

Exactly one day after a senior group of stars pleaded with the club to make investments in their lagging squad, Manchester United players showed up for training on Tuesday morning.

Under new manager Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils have had a terrible start to the season, losing their first Premier League game 2-1 at home to Brighton. They were destroyed 4-0 at Brentford on Saturday night, making matters even worse for them.

A senior group of players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, and Bruno Fernandes, have requested additional transfers from United before the transfer market closes on September 1. This was exclusively disclosed by Mirror Football.

Cristiano Ronaldo arrives at Carrington

Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, and Lisandro Martinez are the only three acquisitions United has made so far this summer, and none of them have had much of an impact. Particularly Martinez has had trouble adjusting to the physicality of the Premier League.

After their dismal performance against Brentford, Ten Hag compelled his players to report to training on Sunday, postponing their day off until Monday. On Tuesday, Ronaldo and his colleagues returned to their Carrington practice facility to get ready for their upcoming match.

Ten Hag's team's schedule does not get much simpler. On Monday night at 8:00 p.m., they play Liverpool at Old Trafford, only 10 months after Jurgen Klopp's team destroyed them 5-0 in their own backyard. For former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it signaled the beginning of the end.

David de Gea was at fault for Brentford's first two goals on Saturday evening

When Ronaldo arrived at Carrington on Tuesday, he gave the photographer a thumbs up. David de Gea, Martinez, and Raphael Varane were also seen driving into the complex. In due course, more players who weren't playing well appeared.

Despite their own subpar performances, United players think the team's failure to add any new players this summer demonstrates a lack of ambition. The absences of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard, and others have left huge gaps in the team, and this worries them.

The most pressing area for worry may be central midfield, which was an issue for United even before Pogba and Matic left the team. They haven't added a center midfielder yet this transfer window, and they may even let James Garner depart Old Trafford.

Lisandro Martinez has endured a difficult start to his Man Utd career

All summer long, United has been pursuing Frenkie de Jong, a midfielder for Barcelona, but that transfer appears to be on hold. Adrien Rabiot, a Juventus midfielder, is on the verge of being signed by them for an initial £15 million, which would allay certain fears inside the team.

Actually, United has to add additional players before the transfer window closes if they want to have a chance to compete with teams like Arsenal and Tottenham for a top-four finish. Fans, who have encouraged owners the Glazers to sell up quickly, share the players' concerns.

Since the early 1980s, when United won the Europa League in May 2017, the American family has presided over United's least prosperous period. There doesn't seem to be a plan for their transfer business, despite the fact that they had previously made significant investments in the team. Old Trafford's deteriorating condition is another issue that worries United supporters.

Raphael Varane has started United's season from the bench

A fish rots from the head, as we've always stated, according to a statement from the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST). And our football club's owners, the Glazer family, must bear the ultimate blame for the appalling state of the organization.

"They must now explain to United supporters why we are in this situation and what they intend to do to fix it. Although the past ten years have seen some challenging periods, today feels like the absolute lowest point.

"We demand an immediate and radical change on behalf of Manchester United supporters everywhere. Along with protests, we will also bring the club's attention to fan grievances and demand answers about ownership, debt, dividends, team performance, and the need for genuine reform on each of these fronts."
