Manchester United’s players are reportedly unhappy with the “supper club” routine manager Louis van Gaal adopted in the buildup to matches.
Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail writes that some of the current squad are making private complaints over the matchday schedule, which sees the players take part in painstaking meetings.
According the piece, under the tutelage of the Dutchman’s predecessor David Moyes and legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, the squad would usually have time to themselves, which is a luxury scarcely afforded under Van Gaal. Wheeler elaborates on some of the grievances which are said to be damaging the United players' morale:
Under Sir Alex Ferguson and David Moyes, the squad used to have time to themselves after dinner but now they have to attend a series of tedious meetings lasting several hours at the team hotel before gathering for a 10pm supper of cereal and toast.
