Journalist reveals worrying news coming out of Man Utd as 'tiredness' claim made
Manchester United next face Wolves in the Premier League in Erik ten Hag's bid to qualify for the Champions League.
The Red Devils are still on track to finish in the top four, although successive defeats against Brighton and West Ham have cast doubt on their ability to cross the line.
Liverpool have dropped to United's fourth place by one point with Jurgen Klopp poised to pounce on any possibility of slippage in the race to qualify for the European Cup.
Ten Hag insists the club's poor form has nothing to do with fatigue. However, more and more worried fans, who united again lost momentum at a crucial time. Advertisement
While ESPN reporter Rob Dawson thinks the extent of games is affecting gamers.
What did he say?
With the silver trophy ready in his back pocket and an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City on the horizon, Ten Hag only needs to secure Champions League spot for the season to be considered a resounding success.

But player burnout can appear at the wrong time. Or at least that's the behind-the-scenes opinion. Dawson stated: “There are concerns behind the scenes that the workload – including a winter World Cup in Qatar – has caught up with the players.
"David de Gea, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford have all played more minutes in all competitions than any other Liverpool player, while defender Lisandro Martinez has played only 57 minutes less than Virgil van Dijk," he added.
Rashford's second-half strike was enough to seal a win the last time United faced Wolves at Molineux, but the team's failure to score late in the game will add to the anxiety of fans.

United have scored 8 goals in their last 10 league meetings and have conceded 13. For comparison, they have scored 21 goals in their previous 10 games, conceding just 8 – a statistic that shows poor form. The club's worrisome shot.
