Scott McTominay comments on Manchester United's 'desire' are hiding a bigger problem

Manchester United are in disarray. That was clear long before a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal all-but confirmed that the club would miss out on a top-four place and therefore Champions League football next season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked back in November after it became clear that the project he was looking to build at the club was crumbling under the weight of expectation. The holes in his squad and lack of tactical flexibility to accommodate some of the club's new signings, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, acted like missing Jenga blocks and eventually the whole tower came falling down.

What Solskjaer did have though was the respect of the players, even if he didn't do anything relatively ground-breaking with it, and it still allowed him to create a cohesive unit at United. Now, fans are seeing the reverse as Ralf Rangnick is shouting his ideas from the rooftops, but seemingly no one is listening.
