Manchester United have handed new contracts to Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Ashley Young this season.
Those moves have left a number of supporters unhappy given the need for investment at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils haven’t been able to compete for a Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, but there seems to be no urgency in improving the squad.
And according to the Daily Mail, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won’t bring in too many players in the summer because he’s keen to promote the club’s youth players.
Considering their rivals will almost certainly spend heavily, it’s a risky move.
But while the aforementioned trio, plus Luke Shaw, have signed new deals at the club, Man United’s Spanish players have gone without contract extensions.
Ander Herrera and Juan Mata are likely to leave in the summer while David de Gea’s future remains unclear.
Man United's Spanish stars are angry
And the Spanish trio are reportedly angry at being ‘treated differently’ to the club’s English players.
According to the Mail, De Gea, Herrera and Mata and their representatives feel preferential treatment is being given to Man United’s English contingent.
The Mail add that there is a desire within the Old Trafford club to return to the ‘home-based’ strategy that yielded so much success under Sir Alex Ferguson.
And while Shaw, Jones, Smalling and Young have signed new deals, there have been no similar agreements with the Spanish players.
Herrera is close to sealing a move to Paris Saint-Germain, with Man United unprepared to match his wage demands.
De Gea is likely to enter the final year of his contract despite ongoing negotiations.
Meanwhile, 30-year-old Mata is expected to depart.
The Spanish-speaking players in the dressing room have even formed their own clique, which has left Paul Pogba in an awkward position.
The French midfielder grew up alongside English players like Jesse Lingard but shares a close bond with Man United’s foreign stars.
As a result of their push towards re-establishing the academy and British players as part of their DNA, the Red Devils are at risk of putting off overseas targets.
The Mail note the instrumental additions of David Silva and Sergio Aguero in the dressing room at Manchester City.
Man United have struggled to assimilate their Latin players in the same way.
