RK: "My relationship with the manager is stronger than ever.

"I feel things in the dressing room are pretty fine - obviously there are targets when you have had a disappointing season but the spirit among the players is as good as ever.

"When you have 20-odd players in a dressing room you are going to have disagreements every now and then. If you didn't, then I would be worried

RVN: "It's not true. My relationship with the manager is perfect, and there is nothing more to say about it.

"I want to be part of Manchester United's future in the next four years."

SAF: "There has maybe been an attempt to dismantle the team spirit in the club, which we will not allow to happen. It always seems to be when you are having a bad time."

A 'dressing room insider' (The Mirror): "There have been quite a few fall-outs between the manager and players and even between the players themselves this season - many more than usual."
