Manchester United captain Antonio Valencia is barely on speaking terms with Jose Mourinho, according to reports.
Several of Uniteds top stars have fallen out with Mourinho this season, most notably Paul Pogba who has told team-mates that he is embarrassed by the managers tactics after just four wins in all competitions.
Pogba was stripped of the vice-captaincy following the sides 1-1 draw at home to Wolves and Mourinho responded to last weekends defeat to West Ham by claiming: some care more than others.
Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Eric Bailly and Andreas Pereira are all understood to have backed Pogba and yet another player, skipper Valencia, has been involved in a bust-up with Mourinho.
Sportsmail suggests that Valencia has stopped talking to his manager after Mourinho criticised the Ecuadorian for not turning up to watch Uniteds Carabao Cup clash with Derby.

The Portuguese expected his club captain to be in the stands at Old Trafford as Frank Lampards side knocked United out of the competition.
Valencia was subsequently omitted from Mourinhos 18-squad for the trip to the London Stadium.
Mourinho questioned Valencias fitness levels after the right-backs performances on the Red Devils pre-season tour of the United States.
Antonio Valencia came from holiday, I think too much holiday for him, Mourinho told MUTV at the end of July.
His condition was not good when he came back. [He has an] injury, and also has to go back.
While Mourinho insists that some care more than others, he believes everybody at United has had a part to play in their dismal start to the campaign.
Its a collective thing, the reason why we dont win is the responsibility of everybody, the performance on the pitch in my opinion is the consequence of many factors, Mourinho said ahead of Uniteds Champions League clash with Valencia.
Luke Shaw for example told something I agree but I dont agree totally because I am part of it.

He said that we players are on the pitch we have to perform, we have to give more, I like that perspective but I dont agree totally.
Its all of us, everybody in the club has a role to play, the kit man, the nutritionist, I have, everyone has a role to play and when we lose the responsibility is the responsibility of everyone.
