Defender Luke Shaw gave an honest assessment after the game, insisting that the squad was not 'together' after the defeat.
And Sportsmail revealed on Wednesday evening that as many as seventeen first-team stars at Old Trafford are unhappy at the club.

All this has led to the need for United to find immediate solutions, and according to reports they have found one in the form of Phelan.
According to the Mirror, Phelan has been asked by Rangnick himself to speak to players as a whole and indiviudally in a bid to bring stars back onto the same page.
Phelan is a respected and well-established figure at the club, having acted as a No 2 for Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Rangnick has become aware of the situation following a series of meeting with players to discuss their futures.
Anthony Martial will leave on loan this month if Sevilla improve their opening loan offer, and is set to move permanently in the summer.
Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard have shown no inclination to renew their contracts which are due to run out at the end of June, enabling both to leave on free transfers and deal United a huge financial blow.
