Erik ten Hag's biggest supporter in the Manchester United squad has been named, while a dressing room leak has detailed several other players' concerns.

For instance, the Dutchman refused to criticise goalkeeper André Onana for his mistakes against Galatasaray and also stuck by Marcus Rashford following his poor display against Newcastle.

It is thought that the manager has missed both Martinez and Casemiro's presence in the dressing room following their respective injuries.
