Cristiano Ronaldo has responded to Luke Shaw after he shared concerns over mentality in the Manchester United dressing room.
After stepping into the breach to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - initially until the end of this season - Ralf Rangnick saw his unbeaten start ended by Wolves on January 3.
Joao Moutinho settled the scores on that occasion as Ronaldo captained the team, and after the match Shaw delivered an honest and open verdict on current issues at Old Trafford.
Indeed, the England international claimed there was some division in the United camp and his revelation has since been followed by suggestions that several players are 'unhappy' at the club - while Ronaldo seemingly agrees with one key point made by the defender.
During his Sky Sports post-match interview, Shaw said: "I didn't think we were all there together.
"You look at the players we have, we have unbelievable quality but, sometimes, quality is not enough.
"We need to bring the intensity and more motivation. Inside the dressing room we know what we want, but out on the pitch we need to give 100 per cent. To win these types of games we all need to be 100 per cent committed. It is tough and disappointing."

In a wide-ranging sit down with the same broadcaster, on Shaw's togetherness plea Ronaldo said: "It's the key [being together]. Not only the players. It's for all the staff, coaches, physios, doctors, players.
"This is a squad and it's like a second family for all of us, so we have to be together.
"We are in the same boat. We knew it since the beginning. [It's a] New Year so we have to believe it's possible. As I have mentioned before, we have a long way to change - but I believe that we are going to have a good season."
