Ralf Rangnick hailed as a great coach by Manchester United star
Fred has denied rumours that there’s trouble in the Manchester United dressing room, while defending the interim coach, Ralf Rangnick.
If you recall, last month, there was a report by the Daily Mail which claimed that as many as seventeen players were unhappy at Old Trafford, with Fred named as one of them, and the likes of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial also fingered.
But the Brazilian has denied the report, branding it as ‘fake news’, and describing Rangnick as a ‘great coach’.
Speaking after the 4-2 win against Leeds last weekend, the midfielder said, “We’re evolving, we’re working.
“Rangnick is a great coach. It’s also difficult to change coaches there in the middle of the season, but we are fitting in, we are working to understand his work. We’re already much better at this.
“We’re trying to get the win every game. So this is important to us. This was a great victory, Wednesday we have a big game against Atletico Madrid and we have to stay focused.
“As I said, it’s keeping your head on straight, step by step, that we’re going to finish the season in our best possible place.”
Asked about the dressing room unrest, Fred said, “Fake news.
“Being one of the biggest clubs in the world, they will want to say a lot of things.
“Unfortunately, it’s normal. Even more so nowadays, anyone can access social media and say anything there so it turns out that a lot of fake news circulates.
“But we in there [the dressing room] are calm about it. We know what really happens inside our locker room.
“You saw here today, we are very united. All seeking the same goal, which is to win the games. And we have to let things go and focus together and play as a team.”
