Jose Mourinhos erratic behaviour has exhausted members of his Manchester United squad, with the players becoming increasingly concerned over their manager, reports claim.
The Manchester United boss took a swipe at the clubs transfer policy, while he has directly singled out Antonio Valencia and Anthony Martial for criticism during the pre-season tour of the USA.
Now in Miami and preparing for their penultimate friendly against Real Madrid, Uniteds players are said to be treading carefully around the former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager.
Joses mood is dragging the whole tour down, a source told the Daily Mail.
Hes clearly not happy with Ed Woodward and everyone else is suffering because of it.
Another source claimed that his behaviour was exhausting some of the players in the squad.

Members of the squad fear becoming the latest one to be singled out by the head coach, and feel unsettled ahead of the new season.
Some are also anxious that the season will be undermined before its even begun, such is the concern over Mourinhos antics, according to the Telegraph.
While Mourinho has the full backing of executive vice-chairman Woodward, there are worries among some officials that the situation will continue to deteriorate and that Mourinho is damaging morale for no reason.
He is expected to be handed more funds to add to the squad before the season begins, despite an acceptance that there needs to be a trimming of fringe players at the club.
The absence of 17 first-team players has not helped matters and Mourinho is set to field another heavily weakened team in the fixture against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
