Several fringe players are unhappy with Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over the lack of action they've seen this season.
The Telegraph says Donny van de Beek, Jesse Lingard, Dean Henderson, Eric Bailly, Alex Telles, Diogo Dalot, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial entered the season expecting to be afforded more playing time by the boss.
However, despite dismal performances against Liverpool and Manchester City at Old Trafford that have left supporters calling for Solskjaer's head, the Norwegian has doggedly stuck with the same group of players.
Solskjaer's reluctance to introduce his exiled stars has onset a mounting frustration among some players, particularly in light of the fact that some stars opted against leaving the club in the summer as they believed they would be given more playing time at United.
The Red Devils enter a run of five games in 15 days following the international break which could be critical in Solskjaer's fight to save his job. The 48-year-old has taken just four points from the last 18 available in the league.
United travel to Vicarage Road to take on Watford this weekend, before taking on Villarreal in a crunch Champions League clash next Tuesday.
