Manchester United players are said to be unhappy with the pre-match routine of Louis van Gaal, which is being described as a “supper club” and lacking in fun, according to the Daily Mail.
The report claims the United squad has strict arrangements the night prior to a game, lacking the freedom they experienced under previous managers.

The Mail also states that the players endure multiple “tedious meetings”, then eat cereal and toast at 10pm, before going to bed at 10:30pm.
Manchester United have a possession average of 56% in the league this season.
This is now said to be making a major strain on the players’ morale, per the report, as the Dutch coach likes to rigorously enforce his philosophy and repeat training drills.
The Mail were told by a source that the squad is not enjoying the mood before matchday: “There’s no fun, no banter – just lots of meetings.
“The body language of the players isn’t right, and there’s no expression when they go out to play.”
This could go some way to explaining United’s flat performances as of late, where they have won just two of their last five Premier League games.
United have completed the most passes in the Premier League this season.
United have scored only nine goals at home this season – a tally bettered by nine Premier League clubs.
A mere 48 chances have been manufactured during their six home fixtures, which is poorer than every top flight team except Stoke City (42).
The Red Devils are still third in the top flight though and face West Ham at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
