Ralf Rangnick could have stayed at Old Trafford in a consultancy role after his interim coach duties expired last season with Man United.

Contrary to what many expected Ralf Rangnick terminated his contact with man united and headed to Austria to manage the national team squad.

In the winter transfer, Ralf speaking to the media revealed that he told the United’s board of potential youngsters available on the market that the club can target to bring at Old Trafford.
“I spoke to the board and told them, ‘Shouldn’t we at least speak and analyze and find if we can at least get a player, on loan or a permanent deal?’
“In the end, the answer was no. The answer was no, maybe they didn’t want to do any winter [business]. It doesn’t matter, the answer was no.” Rangnick said in the press briefing.
Manchester United’s run to the last season’s games was heartbreaking. in February Manchester United spent in the fourth spot and hoped to finish among the Champions League contenders which is the top four but that could not happen.
