“It’s embarrassing, frustrating. Maybe even more embarrassing,” Ralf Rangnick said of Manchester United’s defeat at Anfield in Liverpool. The German coach, who will leave his position on the Red Devils bench at the end of the season to take on a consultant role, has confirmed that this summer there will be a total revolution in the Mancunian squad with up to 10 signings.
“The team needs a rebuild, not because some players have to leave, but because quite a few of them are out of contract, their contracts are about to expire, so it is clear to me that will be 6, 7, 8 or even 10 new players. And before you sign them, you need to know how you want to play, what kind of football the new coach wants to implement … And then you leave there and bring all the players who match that kind of profile and game, ”Rangnick said.
Liverpool, the example to follow
The German coach referred to the rebuilding that Liverpool did when Jürgen Klopp arrived. “When Jürgen Klopp came to Liverpool six years ago, they lifted not only the team, but also the club and the city to a new level. I don’t blame anyone, not my players or anyone, but we just need to realize what kind of team they have at their disposal.Look at their bench, look at the four players who are not even on the squad.It describes what kind of quality and kind of team they have built up. working together with Jürgen and his team for the last six years. ” he explained.
Manchester United is the club to spend the most money in Europe in recent years, an investment that has been unsuccessful in terms of results, as it has not won the Premier League in nine seasons.
“Liverpool only need two or three transition windows and if you know what you’re looking for, it doesn’t take four or five years. Here, this is what needs to happen in the next few transition windows. If you look. you know the two clubs that currently dominate the Premier League (Liverpool and City), that’s exactly what they did. They brought in two coaches and not only did they enter two coaches, they also changed everything in terms of the formation, what players they needed, what kind of football do they want to play … “, he snapped. Rannick.
Go to the Champions, the goal
The defeat at Anfield left United in a compromised position to qualify for the Champions League. This result leaves him in sixth place with 54 points, the same as Arsenal and three less than Tottenham, although the ‘gunners’ have two games to play and the ‘spurs’ one .
In the worst case scenario for the ‘red devils’, once their direct rivals have recovered, the real difference towards fourth place could rise to six points when there are five games left for the end of the season, so it’s likely United may not play in the Champions League next year.
If fourth place is not secured, heavyweights in the squad like Cristiano Ronaldo could ask for an exit despite having a valid contract.
