Erik ten Hag encouraged his players to hold a frank analysis of their own performance 24 hours after the side were beaten 6-3 by Manchester City at the Etihad.
The Dutchman wants his players to constructively call one another out so that they take more responsibility for their performances.
In previous seasons, too often have United players blamed the coach and his tactics rather than diagnosing their own failures.
Ten Hag gave every member the chance to speak up during an inquest at the club’s training ground on Monday.
Scott McTominay and Lisandro Martinez were said to be two of the most vocal during the inquest, according to the Sun.
But while the exercise was good for clearing the air, it tensions boiled over at one point when one United star took umbrage with a team-mate calling him out and replied: ‘Concentrate on your own f*****g game’.
Though Ten Hag is said to have smoothed tensions after the flare-up and he was actually encouraged at the level of passion being shown.
However, he warned his squad that they’d be better off showing the passion on the field, rather than off it.
