Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is now said to be barely speaking to a particular player in his squad following recent events between the two of them.
Ten Hag falling out with players at Old Trafford has become a rather familiar sight, having previously been at loggerheads with Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Jadon Sancho.

Several weeks ago, the Dutchman was involved in yet another disciplinary issue with one of his stars, Marcus Rashford.
Last month, the England international was excluded from United's FA Cup clash against Newport County after he failed to pitch up for training in the days leading up to the match.
It widely reported that the forward was seen drinking and partying the night before into the early morning hours in Belfast, Northern Ireland, resulting in his absence from training later than day.
He was reinstated in the following match, with Ten Hag insisting that the matter was closed after an internal process was completed.
However, it is now claimed that the issue has caused serious tension between Ten Hag and Rashford.
According to The Sun, the pair are barely on speaking terms, with some members in the team fearing the relationship between the 26-year-old and the manager has been broken beyond repair.
Ten Hag is described to have been furious over the incident, feeling deceived by Rashford's decision to lie about why he did not show up for training after he reportedly said he was sick, and about when he had returned from Belfast.
The reported conflict does not seem to have had an effect on the pitch, though, with the forward having been getting regular game time irrespective of his transgressions.
