Man United fans are left in DISBELIEF at ‘shockingly poor’ training ground rondo drill as passes go astray… with some even claiming their SUNDAY LEAGUE team can do better!
- Manchester United held an open training ahead of the match against Bayern Munich
- Before UEFA matches, media members will have the opportunity to observe in Carrington
- Man United are full as captain Bruno Fernandes says he thought Bournemouth would be easy It all starts
Manchester United fans are baffled by the lack of quality players on display during open training on Monday.
As Erik ten Hag's side prepared to take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League this evening, they took part in a close-control rondo exercise, as usual.
Normally this is out of the reach of prying eyes, but before UEFA matches, media members are allowed to observe part of the session.
As a result, Man United reporter Andy Mitten shared a 26-second clip of Ten Hag's side taking part in a rondo exercise, and it was viewed more than 13 million times.
In it, United's players are seen making loose touches and passing the ball after two or three passes, leaving fans floored by the lack of quality.

Fans were completely unimpressed and felt that their despicable performance 'made sense'
“Our performances make sense now,” one fan wrote.
“Now I know why they can't string the cards together,” another added.
A third said: 'People blame Ten Hag for the results when he has players who earn millions but can't string three passes together.'
Other frustrated supporters claimed their Sunday League teams have performed better than United appeared to in these types of exercises.
'There's probably £5m a week salaries in that video – and they're worse than my old Sunday league team,' one wrote.
Another fan claimed that “13 year olds can do a better rondo than this, and I'm not even exaggerating.”
Some fans even felt that a group of kids, or a Sunday League team, could do the rondo better
United go into Matchday 6 of the Champions League knowing they need to beat Bayern Munich to have any chance of progressing.
Bayern, who have responded emphatically with 4-0 wins after defeats this season, are still reeling from the embarrassment they suffered in a 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend.
But United need to win and hope FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray eliminate each other for a draw in Denmark so they can progress.
Ten Hag gathered his Manchester United players on Tuesday for the Champions League match against Bayern Munich and declared: 'We can beat anyone.'
Bayern is undefeated in the last 39 group matches of more than six years, but Ten Hag is convinced that United can still continue.
“If we are in the right spirit, we are able to do it and beat any opponent,” said the United manager.
'I never think of a negative scenario, we think positively. We know what to do. We have to win to stay in Europe, that's what matters.
'We will prepare the team with that feeling, with the conviction that we can do it. We have shown in recent weeks that we can do it when we are at our best.'
But their rondo exercise on the training ground has done little to inspire the supporters' confidence.
