Bruno Fernandes insists Manchester United players are behind Ralf Rangnick

Bruno Fernandes has hit out at suggestions that some Manchester United players are unhappy with the tactical approach of interim head coach Ralf Rangnick.

There have been rumours of discontent and friction in the squad this season, and it has recently been claimed that sections of the team were not pleased with Rangnick's approach to training and matches.

However, speaking ahead of Wednesday's Champions League last-16 first leg with Atletico Madrid, Fernandes has insisted that he has never heard any complaints from within the club relating to the German.

"About the formation, nobody has to worry about that more than the coach and his staff. We [the players] have to follow what the manager thinks is the best way for us," Fernandes told reporters.

"In this club I never heard someone complain about the tactics and I hope no-one will do that, it is not respectful."

Man United secured their spot in the knockout round of the Champions League by finishing top of Group F, picking up 11 points from their six matches.
