Man United players' doubts over Ruben Amorim's system revealed, the real culprits for Rangers ticketing chaos and why new academy star is already three times more popular at Old Trafford than Arsenal! MAN UNITED CONFIDENTIAL

Gary Neville has voiced concerns that Ruben Amorim might be struggling to sell his ideas to Manchester United’s players, and Confidential understands that some of them have discussed amongst themselves whether a change of plan that is better suited to their style of play might be the best way forward. That’s unlikely to happen anytime soon after Amorim vowed to stand by his philosophy at all costs despite losing eight of his 20 games in charge, playing a 3-4-3 formation with wing backs.

But United face Tottenham on Sunday with both clubs uncomfortably close to the relegation zone, and there is growing concern among some players that the teething problems they have experienced under Amorim are not going to improve unless he considers at least tweaking the system. Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, the former United defender said last week after United’s defeat to Crystal Palace: ‘I thought it would get better when Ruben Amorim came in, the enthusiasm of him and the new system, the players would buy into and we'd see a bounce, but we've seen the absolute opposite and it's got a lot worse.

‘They (United) are obviously going to stick with Amorim. But the more you lose, the more difficult it is for the manager to convince the players of his idea. 'It will depress the thoughts of the players to a point whereby they'll start to lose faith in the idea and it'll damage you.’. Ruben Amorim has come under fire after losing eight of his first 20 matches in charge. Gary Neville questioned whether Amorim was getting his ideas across to his players.

Amorim has not lost the dressing room, but questions will continue to be asked of his style. While there is no suggestion that Amorim risks losing the dressing room, questions will continue to be asked of his strategy unless United begin to show a marked improvement. Friday’s FA Cup win over Leicester was little better, and even the United boss struggled to find reasons to celebrate. Martinez to have knee op.

Lisandro Martinez is set to undergo surgery this week to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. United confirmed last week that Martinez had damaged the ACL against Crystal Palace nine days and said that ‘assessment of the injury is ongoing to determine the appropriate course of treatment’. Lisandro Martinez will have knee surgery after being stretchered off against Crystal Palace.

The Argentina defender is hoping to be back for the start of next season. Confidential understands that club doctors have decided that an operation is the best course of action and the Argentina defender will go under the knife shortly. It’s unclear how long Martinez will be out of action, but the initial prognosis was around six months which would give him a chance of being fit for the start of next season.

The 27-year-old damaged the medial ligament in his right knee against West Ham a year ago but the injury didn’t require surgery and he was back eight games later. Sadly, this time he faces a much longer layoff. United fans cleared over chaos. An investigation into how 1,600 Rangers fans infiltrated home sections of Old Trafford for the Europa League clash last month has found minimal United supporters were to blame for the chaos.

A 'small number' of fans who the club believe sold their ticket to a Rangers supporter have been hit with sanctions – a suspension prior to appeal, with the possible outcome of a year's ban from attending home and away matches. It is thought they were identified on CCTV. But United say the problems which ensued on the night were caused by touts and unofficial resellers using accounts registered on the club's database to distribute tickets, rather than season ticket holders.

Thousands of Rangers fans found their way into the home end during the Europa League clash. It can be revealed that 100 category one tickets were sold on by Rangers. At least 100 Rangers supporters bought official off-site hospitality at Old Trafford through their club, priced at £325 plus VAT per ticket, after the Scottish side chose to sell part of their category one Uefa allocation. Visiting clubs in European games are entitled to category one tickets under UEFA rules, which at Old Trafford are located in the South Stand.

These are often used by dignitaries and players' families but of the 200 allocated to Rangers, 100 were sold on by the Scottish club in what Confidential understands is a highly unusual move. Rangers have not responded to requests for comment. The high number of Rangers fans in the home end led to worrying scenes inside the ground. United have vowed to review their approach to matches deemed 'high-risk' to avoid a repeat in future.

Disney bonus for Garnacho. The decision to host a recovery training session on the pitch in the hours after squeezing past Leicester City in the FA Cup meant that it allowed players the opportunity for a weekend off before coming back in refreshed on Monday morning. Alejandro Garnacho, who came off the bench to turn the tie in United’s favour, made the decision to go over the Channel to visit Disneyland with his partner Eva Garcia and their son Enzo.
