Man U players revolt over tactics
Manchester United players are reportedly furious at the ‘negative’ 4-3-3 formation championed by assistant boss Carlos Queiroz and backed by Sir Alex Ferguson. The formation has led to only five shots on target in United’s last three games against Manchester City, Villarreal and Liverpool.
“The Sun” claims that the players first voiced their concerns last season and asked reserve-team boss Brian McClair to speak to Ferguson about Queiroz’ choice of tactics.
But Ferguson apparently backed his assistant boss and the formation has survived into this season, with Ruud van Nistelrooy practically playing as a lone striker. As well as falling out with his players, Ferguson is said to be refusing to speak to club station MUTV after a presenter criticised his tactics.
Paul Anthony apparently questioned Ferguson’s tactics after the Villarreal game, which ended in a 0-0 draw, as well as criticising Wayne Rooney after his sending-off.
Ferguson has since refused to speak to MUTV, says the “Daily Mirror”, snubbing them both before and after the Liverpool game at the weekend. The United boss is not one to drop a grudge quickly, having refused to speak to the BBC for the last 16 months.
