Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been frustrated this season with the amount of sponsorship commitments for his players.
The Times says Mourinho is annoyed his players spend too much time promoting United's sponsors rather than improving their game.
United have 46 official partners who have access to the players for interviews and promotional activity.
However, the report claims Mourinho has raised concerns privately about his squad spending too much time on such activities rather than training and he believes it is affecting the focus of some of his players.
