MANCHESTER UNITED’S training ground rondo went viral and left fans pleading to “end the season already.”
United welcome Bayern Munich to Old Trafford tonight needing a win and results elsewhere to go their way in order to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages.
But supporters have not been filled with confidence after a video of their rondo taken by journalist Andy Mitten went viral.
Erik ten Hag’s struggling side can barely string a couple of passes together before losing possession.
One fan fumed: “United fans have been arguing about Rondo’s all day, end the season already…”
Another said: “They can’t even complete 3 passes??

“That’s a shockingly poor clip. 13-year-olds can do a better rondo than this and I’m not even overreacting.”
One added: “Hand on heart I’ve seen Sunday league teams hit rondo’s with more intensity and accuracy. Goodness gracious.”
Another raged: “There’s probably £5m per week salaries in that clip – and they’re worse than my old Sunday league team.”
Ten Hag was renowned for playing possession-based football at Ajax, where he won three league titles.

But in October, the Dutchman confessed that his current United squad are not capable of playing with the same style.
Ten Hag said: “We will never play the football we played at Ajax here. I now have other players, that’s not why I came here.
“The player material you have determines how you will play. That’s why we play here in a different way than I did at Ajax.
“That will have to be the case, because I can’t play the same way here. That is not in the DNA of Manchester United at all.
“The football at Ajax is very typical, here we will play much more directly. We also have the players for that, especially at the forefront.”
United twice threw away a lead to draw 3-3 with Galatasaray in Turkey to leave them on the brink of being dumped out of Europe.
They now must beat Bayern – who have already qualified – while Copenhagen and Galatasaray would need to draw.
