Former Manchester United interim manager, Ralf Rangnick has
revealed that it took him two weeks to identify the club’s problems after
replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last season.
Rangnick, who is currently Austria’s head coach, was handed
the responsibility of guiding Man United mid-season until the end of the
2021-2022 campaign.
The German arrived in England after leaving the role of
sporting director at Lokomotiv Moscow.
Renowned for handling recruitment and sporting development
at different clubs, Rangnick failed to improve on-field matters at Man United
from the dugout.
Rangnick guided a disjointed Man United squad to a
sixth-place finish in the Premier League at the end of May this year.
Speaking to Austrian daily Der Standard, Rangnick said, “As
a coach or sports director, it’s about being able to develop things and minimising
the chance factor as much as possible. That you develop a team in a direction
where you use game control and a certain type of football to create
significantly more chances than you allow the opponent to have.”
He added: “It would not have taken Manchester United six
months to do that. After just two weeks, it was clear to me where the problems
were and what would have to be done to fix them – but the question is whether
you have the option of changing these things.”
