Under-fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was "openly challenged" by a Manchester United star over picking unfit Harry Maguire, according to a report.
The beleaguered Old Trafford boss is facing a fight to keep his job following Sunday's abject humiliation against Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer 's dismal side were dismantled 5-0 by their arch-rivals in one of the worst results in the club's history.
United chiefs are now said to be considering the manager's future, with the likes of Antonio Conte, Zinedine Zidane and Brendan Rodgers tipped as potential successors.
Solskjaer has also been plagued by a series of dressing room leaks in the hours following the weekend demolition.
It's been reported that, whilst well liked, the United club legend is losing the faith of his squad.
The Telegraph report one particularly alarming incident following last weekend's 4-2 defeat to Leicester City.
It's claimed Solskjaer was called out by Eric Bailly after he restored Harry Maguire to the starting side at the King Power Stadium.
Maguire had been sidelined with a calf injury and took part in just one full training session before facing his former club. He looked well off the pace and was culpable for two of Leicester's goals.
And that led to fellow defender Baiily allegedly asking his manager why he picked "a centre-half who was not fit."
The Ivory Coast international is yet to make a Premier League appearance this season.
Other reports have stated some senior players are puzzled by Solskjaer continually overlooking Donny van de Beek and Jesse Lingard in his team selections.
United's hierarchy held talks on Monday as they consider the manager's future.
