Ralf Rangnick's training techniques have apparently perplexed certain Manchester United players, who are perplexed as to why his aide Chris Armas leads the majority of the sessions.
Rangnick's hiring, which came after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November, has had little impact, with the Red Devils remaining in poor form.
According to ESPN, the problems are getting worse, and several stars are irritated by the 'old-fashioned' training sessions.
According to the article, certain members of the Red Devils' team are baffled by Rangnick's decision to delegate coaching duties to his deputy Armas. According to reports, the 49-year-old American coach has been compared to Ted Lasso, the protagonist in an Apple TV+ series in which an American college football coach gets appointed to lead a Premier League team despite having only played American football.
According to the article, several players are underwhelmed by the training ground's concentration on organisational and shape work rather than drills to develop skills.
Manchester United's under-performing stars failed to deliver yet again this week, drawing 1-1 with Burnley at Turf Moor.
In the 18th minute, Paul Pogba put them ahead, but a James Rodriguez strike just after the break drew them level and saw them drop points. Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines after sprinting down the tunnel after winning the match.
The stalemate came just days after United was knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties at Old Trafford by Championship side Middlesbrough.
Despite drawing six and losing the same number of Premier League games this season, United is still in contention for a place in the Champions League.
Rangnick's side are just one point behind fourth-placed West Ham and face Southampton in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon, fresh off a 3-2 victory against Spurs in midweek. Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United defender, has backed his old club to win the race for fourth place.
'There's always hope,' says the narrator (for United). There is no one in the race for the top four who stands out as the most consistent candidate, capable of stringing together five wins or going ten games without losing. He told BT Sport, 'It's up for grabs.'
'No one, including Arsenal, West Ham, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, can claim to have consistently good performances and outcomes to lay a claim. "I don't know what they're going to do, but I don't know what we're going to do either," they all say to each other. 'I believe Man United will succeed. They'll score enough goals to win the necessary number of games to keep them in the top four... but I'm not optimistic.' It was a Jekyll and Hyde display against Burnley. They appeared to be a completely different team in the second half.'
