Tensions are only intensifying around Manchester United these days, whether it be players privately debating the merits of Ruben Amorim's system or staff fearing more cuts as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos wield the axe.
Players are taking on criticism from pundits, fans are protesting against price rises such as ticketing, while social media has whipped up a storm or two for innocuous comments left on sites such as Instagram.
All of this is only magnified further by the fact that on the pitch United continue to struggle, slumped 13th in the Premier League table with a -6 goal difference ahead of the weekend trip to take on Tottenham Hotspur.
