Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has issued a warning to his players regarding social media.
Several members of the club have been involved in online drama relating to the 63-year-old, with both Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard publicly going against what he has said.
Martial denied claims that he refused to play for the club, while the England international stated he does not want to take time off after a potential January transfer did not happen.
"It is always better. I never ever read or communicate by those social media accounts. I do not exist there and wouldn't have time to do that so therefore it is always better and I always communicate with the players directly," Rangnick told the press.
"I did that with Anthony Martial and Jesse but maybe I am a different kind of generation. My generation didn't grow up with those kind of things. I can even remember a time when there were no mobile phones or internet so for me it is always better to communicate directly."
Manchester United will be back in action on Tuesday when they face Burnley in the Premier League.
