EPL: Ralf Rangnick criticises Man United, Ruben Amorim
Former Manchester United man, Ralf Rangnick, has said that the club is significantly worse than when he was there.
This is despite the Red Devils spending big in the transfer market.
The manager is of the opinion that there is a disconnect between the squad and their head coach Ruben Amorim’s tactics.
Recall that Rangnick coached the Red Devils’ as an interim boss in November 2021 after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked.
However, there was no uptick in form during his reign, and he left Old Trafford to become Austrian national team at the end of the 2021/22 season.
Speaking to Canal+, the former Red Devils boss said the team under Amorim is worse than when he was at the club.
He added that Amorim is not fit to use the players at his disposal, as the squad has not been built to play three at the back.
“A few fundamental things needed to be changed [when I was there]. And since then £750 million has been spent on new players. And in the table they are even significantly worse than back then,” he said.
“They could actually, only with a win in the Europa League, still save this season, because then they will be in the Champions League.
“Everything else would be a disappointment, and it will be interesting to see what will happen.
“They have signed a coach [Amorim] in the middle of the season who plays with three or five backs, and the squad was built based on a four-back system.
“This 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.”
Talking about the Europa League second leg match, the Australian boss warned the Red Devils that Nico Williams can pose a serious threat, comparing the Spaniard to Lamine Yamal.
Manchester United are 3-0 up in the semifinal after their win in the first leg at San Mames on Thursday
