Ralf Rangnick has given an honest assessment of Manchester United\u2019s fall from grace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After serving as Manchester United\u2019s<\/a> interim manager between December 2021 and May 2022, Ralf Rangnick<\/a> knows what it is like not to get results when expectations are high.<\/p>\n

United ended the season trophyless and finished sixth in the table with Rangnick in charge, despite having the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>, Paul Pogba<\/a> and Marcus Rashford<\/a> in their squad.<\/p>\n

Rangnick\u2019s reign was overshadowed by rumours of dressing room unrest, but he has since gone on to become the Austria national team boss.<\/p>\n

Since Rangnick\u2019s departure, United have finished third and eighth in the Premier League<\/a> \u2013 but this season, the Red Devils are currently positioned 14th in the table and could finish as low as 17th unless results improve.<\/p>\n

Former United interim boss Rangnick appeared on Canal+ Austria this week.<\/p>\n

The 66-year-old made a mockery of United\u2019s progress since he left the club with a dig at their recruitment.<\/p>\n

Rangnick famously said that United required \u201copen heart surgery\u201d when he worked at Old Trafford<\/a>, and it sounds like he still believes that is required.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his former club as a pundit, ahead of United\u2019s 3-0 win over Athletic Club, Rangnick said: \u201cIn the end. That a few basic things need to be changed and since then 700 or if not \u00a3750 million has been spent on new players.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in the table they are even significantly worse than back then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rangnick questions Ruben Amorim suitability<\/p>\n

While Rangnick has always been critical of United\u2019s recruitment, the German coach also questioned Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos for the appointment of Ruben Amorim<\/a> as head coach.<\/p>\n

Rangnick claims United can still save their season by going all the way in the Europa League, but he doesn\u2019t think Amorim suits United\u2019s first team<\/a> as things stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could actually, with a win in the Europa League, still save this season. Because then they will be in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything else would be a disappointment, and it will be interesting to see what will happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have signed a coach in the middle of the season who plays with a back three or a back five, and the squad was built based on a back four system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what you see when you see them play, especially in Premier League games against the opponents against which Manchester United normally has to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure, in the Europa League, they have \u2013 usually with the result against Lyon, you are eliminated \u2013 they have turned it around. And of course, the stadium had a huge effect.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ralf Rangnick has given an honest assessment of Manchester United\u2019s fall from grace.
