DANNY MURPHY: The daily swirl of stories around Manchester United isn't the cause of their problems, it's the way they play... Ralf Rangnick's side can't do the basics!

Dressing-room leaks are the least of Manchester United’s problems. Players have always had loose lips and so have their agents and families.

None of it matters when the team is doing well. Instead of worrying about their media, United have to concentrate on what’s happening on the pitch, because things are dire for a club of their standing.

United look like a team lacking in guidance. They are easy to play against which is why David de Gea always seems so busy. United won’t struggle to create long-term because of their individual quality but they’re unable to do the basics; tracking runners, winning 50-50s.
