Manchester United have confirmed Ralf Rangnick will not take on a consultancy role in the Summer. This comes as a surprise as the purpose of hiring Rangnick was to keep him as a consultant. However, this was not the case as Rangnick leaves.
Ralf Rangnick’s time at United can be classified as an ‘A’ grade disaster however his shortcomings were good for United. He was able to shed light on the backward mentality of the whole squad. Moreover United have identified the players they need to replace and the ones they need to bring in.
Ralf Rangnick on Ten Hag
Rangnick had given his views on the season after the 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace on the final matchday. Moreover, he had spoken about contacting Erik Ten Hag.
“We’ve been in contact via WhatsApp and hopefully we will have the opportunity to meet and speak in person, either at the weekend or Monday morning at the latest. I’m looking forward to speaking to him in person and getting to know him in person.
We spoke about that [his consultancy] in detail. About all the different areas where I could maybe be of help.
It’s not that easy or not that difficult to know in which areas this could be. I think we showed that in the last 15 years with Hoffenheim, Salzburg and Leipzig, even for clubs not as prominent as Manchester United, it’s possible to identify, develop and even at one stage sell.
I know Manchester United is not a selling club but rather a developing and buying club, but this is possible and this is what is most important, that the club finds players for whom it is the next logical step in their career, to develop their sporting career. If that happens, I can be positive and I can hopefully be encouraging for our fans that we will bring United back to the top.”
