Revealled:Two Manchester United Players fought before their Manchester derby loss

Manchester United players had a row with one another during half time of their 1-2 derby loss to Manchester City at the Old Trafford
According to Sunsport, a United source explained that the
Red Devils players had arguments between themselves as Jose Mourinho allowed the non-offensive bickering.

However, the Portuguese intervened before substituting Jesse Lingard and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in a tactical move.
The United source said: “The hairdryer came out for the first time this season, but it had nothing to do with Jose.

“The players could be heard shouting and arguing amongst themselves during the interval. Jose decided to let them blow off steam for a couple of minutes.
“He then quietened the whole situation down and told them they also needed to calm down or the second half could be much worse.
“Goodness knows what it would have been like if Zlatan wasn’t handed that gift.”

United however could not turn around the one-goal deficit and went on to lose the derby owing to goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho.
Both Lingard and Mkhitaryan could be dropped from the starting XI in United’s Europa League match away to Feyenoord in Rotterdam on Thursday, September 15.
Mourinho venting his anger on his players during the derby loss
Mourinho said: “The performances are the deciding factor. Performances are the only way that I can decide.

“So if you are asking me if they are going to play against Feyenoord, then no.
“And it is not to punish them it is just to decide in relation to what I have, and what do I have? Their performances.
“So of course I am going to play other players.”
Manchester United remained second on the Premier League table behind rivals Manchester City who continue their 100% record of the season.
