MANCHESTER UNITED’S dressing room is reportedly divided over manager Erik ten Hag.
Multiple players are understood to have “lost belief” in the under-fire Dutchman this season.
Ten Hag is under mounting pressure at Old Trafford after a disappointing December saw the club knocked out of Europe.
United were also beaten five times in the month for the first time since 1933 to end the year nine points off the top four.
The Athletic report that many players have now lost belief and confidence in Ten Hag, according to club sources.
However, not all United players feel the same, with the squad divided between those behind the manager and those who are not.

The report adds that comments claiming “he’s lost the dressing room” are inaccurate.
Ten Hag still has 18 months left on his deal at Old Trafford and ended the club’s trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup last season.
United finished bottom of their Champions League group this term, though, and have already lost nine times in the league to leave them eighth in the table.
New club shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe met with Ten Hag this week after the club announced his deal to buy a 25 per cent stake in the club.

The United boss revealed he is “on the same page” as the British billionaire after their crunch talks.
However, Ratcliffe has been linked with a move for former Chelsea boss Graham Potter to replace Ten Hag in recent weeks.
Ten Hag will hope to kickstart his bid for an FA Cup run when his side visit League One Wigan on Monday, before returning to league action against Tottenham next weekend.
