Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick says that it is not a surprise there are a number of unhappy players at the club.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has said that it is not a surprise there are currently a number of unhappy players at Old Trafford.

Rangnick is believed to be facing dressing-room unrest at the club, with a number of players said to be keen to leave the 20-time English champions in the near future.

The German has said that the fact Man United have a large squad means that there are many individuals who will not be receiving the amount of football they require to remain content, which is an issue facing the majority of leading clubs in European football.

"This is not only an issue with a club like Manchester United," Rangnick told reporters. "When you have a big squad, and we have a big squad - at least in the last two games we had most of those players available, we had an issue with three centre-backs missing against Wolves.

"But in general we had most of the players available apart from Paul Pogba - and if you have that many players and only 10 players can play and three substituted, then, of course, you have quite a number of players, in our case 10, 12, 13, 14 players who don't play or are not even in the squad.

"That those players are not happy about that situation is obvious, it's clear. I think in total we have a big squad. I tend to explain to players every two to three weeks why they are not playing but I obviously cannot do that in every game. That is an issue in our team as well as in other clubs."

Man United will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 loss at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League when they face Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Monday.
