Stop moaning! Ralf Rangnick tells his Manchester United stars not to dig him out on social media after Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial both fired back at interim boss in recent weeks

Ralf Rangnick urged his Manchester United stars to stop airing any grievances with him on social media as he tried to smooth over his dispute with Jesse Lingard on Monday.

Lingard and Anthony Martial have publicly contradicted comments made about them by Rangnick in the last few weeks.

Lingard posted on Twitter that his 'headspace is clear' after Rangnick said the player had asked for a few days off to 'clear his mind', and Martial used Instagram to contest a claim by the interim manager that he 'refused' to play against Aston Villa before joining Sevilla on loan.
