According to reports from talkSPORT, there appears to be a significant division within the Manchester United dressing room due to Erik ten Hag’s handling of Jadon Sancho.

Some players are said to be at odds with the manager’s decision to exile the winger, who has reportedly been reluctant to offer an apology.

Moreover, there’s a growing sense of fatigue among certain squad members regarding Ten Hag’s consistent criticism when they fail to meet his expectations.

In addition to this, some players have voiced concerns that Ten Hag may have favorites within the team, as they observe that certain individuals receive less criticism compared to others.

The recent string of three consecutive losses has only exacerbated these issues, casting doubts on the manager’s tactics and his approach to making substitutions.

These off-field challenges pose a significant hurdle as Manchester United prepares for an upcoming Premier League clash against Burnley.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was questioned about his decision to replace Aaron Ramsdale with David Raya in the last two games, both of which resulted in clean sheets for the team.

In response, Arteta stated that he empathizes with every player who isn’t in the starting lineup but emphasized that his role as the manager is to make decisions regarding the team’s lineup.

Arteta replied: “I suffer with every player who’s not playing but my job is to make decisions.

“He’s [Ramsdale] been very supportive and that’s what I expect from every player. So far he’s been really, really good.

“In my tummy when you have players looking and you have to announce the line up it’s the hardest thing. You want players to feel loved and trusted.

“Yes it is hard. But with other players it’s the same. He’s an exceptional character. We know his charisma and the aura around him.”

The upcoming North London derby is indeed a crucial fixture, and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will have to make a decision on who to start as the goalkeeper. The choice of the goalkeeper for such an important match will be a key decision that could impact the outcome of the game.

According to a report from The Guardian, as cited by Football365, David De Gea is moving closer to the possibility of retiring from professional football following his departure from Manchester United as a free agent this summer.

Notably, De Gea’s decision is not driven by financial concerns, as he has already turned down several lucrative offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia. Instead, the Spanish goalkeeper’s primary preference is to secure a role as the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper at a prominent European club.

However, such an opportunity does not currently appear to be on the horizon.

If De Gea fails to find a suitable club that meets his aspirations, he is contemplating the idea of ending his career in football.

The report also highlights that De Gea continues to harbor feelings of disappointment regarding the circumstances of his departure from Manchester United.
