Ralf Rangnick says reports he has prepared a dossier on Manchester United’s players for incoming manager Erik ten Hag are “completely untrue”; watch Man Utd vs Chelsea on Thursday, live on Premier League and Main Event from 7pm; kick-off 7.45pm
Ralf Rangnick has dismissed claims he has compiled a dossier on Manchester United’s squad for Erik ten Hag in which he questions the players’ professionalism as “completely untrue”.
Rangnick has been in interim charge at Old Trafford since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November but will be replaced by Ten Hag, the Ajax manager, in the summer.
He has struggled to turn around United’s fortunes, overseeing a Champions League last-16 exit to Atletico Madrid and a run of two wins in eight Premier League games that looks like ending their top-four hopes
United’s 4-0 hammering at rivals Liverpool earlier this month was a particular low point, with Gary Neville describing the team as a “shambles” and the players’ performances as being “as bad as I’ve seen in my life.”
Rangnick is due to take on a consultancy role at Old Trafford this summer, but when asked to comment on the reports he has prepared a file for Ten Hag on the squad he would inherit, the German told NGR SPORTS: “This is completely false, completely untrue. The board has never asked me to prepare a dossier, neither for the board nor for Erik.
