Manchester United hero Paul Ince has penned an open letter to vice-chairman Ed Woodward expressing his concerns about the club.

Ince launched a blistering attack on 'sly' Paul Pogba and 'bang average' Jesse Lingard, accusing the pair of lacking respect for their team-mates and the club.

Ince writes to Woodward: “For me, a lot of the issues come down to the attitude of the squad. The players are doing exactly what they want, when they want, and there's no control from above. It wouldn't happen under Fergie and it wouldn't happen under Pep Guardiola. Players are dictating to you and the board what they want – and that's not on.

“It wouldn't happen under Fergie and it wouldn't happen under Pep Guardiola.

“Players like Jesse Lingard think they're bigger than the club and the manager.

“Jesse has been bang average this year and if I'd performed the way he did last season the last thing I would do is post anything on social media.

“Then there's Pogba. Why did he wait until the end of the season to say he wants to go with a sly comment in the press?

“It's a lack of respect for your team-mates who can behave, and it's a total lack of respect for playing for Manchester United.

“As for yourself, stick to counting the cash."
