For Fred, issues inside the dressing room such as “vanity” and a lack of “group” unity are taking their toll.
The midfielder told De Sola, as quoted by Metro: “We are lacking a lot right now, first of all we need to figure out things on the pitch, we are lacking creativity, especially in midfield.
“We also need to improve as a group, our group lacks the ‘sticking together mentality’, we have lots of problems.
“There are a lot of discussions, every group has this sort of problem, but ours has this.
“Vanity is also an issue and we need to stop this and just run on the pitch.
“We need to stick a goal inside our minds, focus on it and go forward.
“We need to be on the same page and today some players have different objectives, there are players that just want to solve problems alone and this is wrong.”
Many onlookers have pointed the finger at Paul Pogba as a big name failing to live up to expectations since his mega money move to United.

There is also a case made by some that the unbalanced wage structure is also impacting players, with loaned-out flop Alexis Sanchez pocketing £505,000-a-week before his exit – a number matched when awarding David De Gea his new contract.
A big problem is, as some see it, a serious lack of quality in the dressing room.
The midfield in particular has been criticised with Bruno Fernandes parachuted in during January to revitalise the lack of creativity identified by coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
