Man Utd fan inside Old Trafford shares pre-match training footage that proves current team is an ‘absolute joke’

A Manchester United fan has shared damning footage from inside Old Trafford which was filmed before the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Monday.

Ruben Amorim's side conceded two goals inside 20 minutes at Old Trafford, with Alexander Isak and Joelinton scoring for the visitors.

Joshua Zirkzee was substituted after 33 minutes as Amorim decided to add an extra midfielder in Kobbie Mainoo.

Zirkzee was booed by a large amount of fans inside Old Trafford - something Gary Neville claimed he had never seen from home supporters in 43 years of attending the stadium.

The boos appeared to also sum up the general feeling of United supporters towards the current team and ownership, with the latter criticised for a series of reported cost-cutting measures in recent weeks.

Amorim's side now sit 14th in the Premier League table after three consecutive defeats without scoring, and they are seven points above the relegation zone.

Now, footage has emerged that has left fans even more furious about the current club situation.

The clip shows the majority of the substitutes, including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia, doing a section of their warm-up separate from the first team, as is customary before a match.

But nearby were academy players and fellow substitutes Toby Collyer and Godwil Kukonki, who were noticeably distant from the other players and passing the ball between themselves.

TikTok user @ForeverUnited_TV, who posted the initial clip, commented: "This is what I don't get, and this is what proves to me that this team is going absolutely nowhere and there's a massive disconnect through the middle of it.

"Manchester United's senior players in that bigger group were laughing, joking around, chasing each other, kicking each other.

"Yeah, they're not playing, and they probably don't need to be as alive as the first team players.

"But it's that phrase again isn't it? Read the room. You're in front of all the Manchester United fans that haven't seen a home win in God knows how long. You're in the bottom half of the table, and you're joking and laughing.

"And you've got two academy players, who don't get any minutes, actually taking it seriously and passing the ball between themselves. They're an absolute joke, this team."
