Mate, it may not be as high as sixth if there are no signings and with this current set. I think they’re done In mentally.
Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

We should tie Ralf down to a long-term consultancy contract before one of our rivals take him on as an interim manager.
A new team, which is obvious. I love how he can't seem to help himself
He hates them a much as I do. I love it.
is that why he has tried and failed to get jobs as manager since?
Tell us how you really feel.
Which jobs did he try for and subsequently fail for?
Not sure he hates the squad as much as the fans think. We could do with 3 or 4 players in normal circumstances but given the number of players leaving on a free or moving on after a loan move, we have no choice but to have a rebuild.
It's quite nice in someway though that we're not relying on sales to rebuild the squad.

What did he say?
He hasn't tried. He took a job as an executive for Leipzig.
Milan, where he fecking announced himself too early?
I think it's not about exposing the players with bad attitude but more about exposing that you can't play a modern high pressing style with the current squad. Possibly a coach with a different approach would have gotten better performances out of this team but it does make sense to hire somebody who plays similarly to where you want to go, doesn't it? It sort of prepared the club for the arrival of Ten Hag.
On a sidenote, I think Rangnick isn't as bad as some in here think. He's obviously no Klopp, Tuchel or Pep but still a decent coach who was forced to ditch his preferred style of football because the team he found wasn't able to play it. It's a bit like hiring a Sushi cook for an Italian restaurant and then being disappointed that the pasta doesn't taste good enough.
Trying to figure out what would be Ralf's role after the season. Is there any update? Tried to search but couldn't find any news.
That's after his time at Leipzig. But if you want to be literal he coached Leipzig in interim capacity and did fairly well.
Milan, that ridiculous episode when some wsnted to get him back to Schalke last season, him apparently decling a Chelsea offer (who then went for Tuchel) and there were at least rumuors about him moving to Eintracht Frankfurt...
I think this is quite naive, football is a game of fine margins and motivation is really important and that's down to the manager. These players are paid regardless of whether they perform or not, it's the managers job to make sure they have that extra desire to go out and win. It's no surprise that the very best like Klopp & Guardiola are fantastic motivators and have big charisma, just like Fergie had for us.
There have been far worse teams than ours give Liverpool/City a game, my take is that Rangnick's focus is solely tactical and he is neglecting the emotional side of the game.
So why does worse team than United give Liverpool or City a game?
Why is it we don't tackle, why is it we don't run, why is it we don't press, why is it we don't score from corners.
Why that happens? Is because they do not want to put their bodies on the line.
A corner for United taken by Shaw - you have Pogba, Sancho, Fred, Rashford, Dalot, Bruno, De Gea, Bissaka those are 9 player who can not score from a Corner. Then people will wonder why we dont score from set pieces. If we have Lindelof with Maguire on defence then it's only Maguire and Ronaldo who can score from a corner in such a team. This things are very easy to see. Why United is so easy to play against, is because it's very easy to dissect it's flaws.
In that team the only players who can press is Fred. Everyone else is pits.
Who can tackle in that team properly. Bissaka and McT at most.
So Ralf motivation should make Sancho start making tackles, or Pogba to start pressing or Rashford to start to run, our problem is we have a very poor and limited squad. A squad built without any plan to it, just players dropped from wherever.
We need a systematic building of the squad, it's not a coincidence even when Ole tried to play in a structured way the team collapsed. This team is built for counter attacking which is running with a ball to a space in front of you.
A new team, which is obvious. I love how he can't seem to help himself
I very much like his style. Straight to the point, no milking it. These pansies have to go. The most spineless Manchester United squad I've seen in my years as a United fan. Rangnick might not be the best manager, but he should have a very clear and important role after this in the club. I'm confident he can modernize it.
I may get tons of angry replies to this message but I couldn’t care less.
So Ralf is on record comparing United to Liverpool and criticising everyone and everything but himself and some of the stuff is of course right but it would only be fair if he also compared the two managers in the same way. This would look something like that:
„Liverpool have a manager who reached a CL final and won leagues with Dortmund and now has won the league and CL with Liverpool whereas my biggest managerial achievement was getting hammered in the CL semi final 2nd leg against the 2nd team of a declining United side more than a decade ago.
Yes he is interim, yes the club is a mess but he is talking as if he himself was Jürgen fecking Klopp.

I hope Rangnick's final press conference is explosive. I expect him to just read off a list of players he thinks are cnuts
Motivation isn't solely down to the manager. Do you think everyone wakes up each day feeling unmotivated, unable to put any effort into their job without first giving their manager a call for some words of inspiration? Accountability lies with us all as individuals and its not fair to keep passing the buck and blaming someone else for laziness and poor work ethic
I think he wanted the job on a full time basis because he has never worked for a club anywhere near the size of United. So I do think he has done things in the last few months against his normal instincts in an attempt to stay in good with the board and maybe get the job fulltime.
Agenda? I'm not a child, I've made like 20 posts on this board in the last couple months, maybe a couple mentioned Rashford. I have no agenda, he's just been shite for two years and has a terrible attitude. I would love nothing more than for him to refocus on football and get back to his 2019 form.
Arsenal, who are competing with United for 4th and have had a relatively harmonious season, conceded 13 goals to City and Liverpool this season.
I would not bother with that guy. He clearly thinks he knows way beyond what he actually does and is keen to imprint his lack of knowledge onto others.
Cheers!
The lady who asked him how Harry was getting on was the highlight for meI love his press conferences
Going to miss them.
You do realise that if he wanted a full time job, he would have just said I want the full time job or I am not coming. Like he done with AC Milan and Chelsea.
So you ae wrong about Rashford and AWB, their minutes have significantly reduced since Ole took over.
Does that mean if Maguire, McTominay, Shaw are starting under ETH, it means Fletcher and the board are selecting the team not ETH?
He said, it was embarrassing to see them not give the same drive as the opponent, not running like Liverpool players even when Liverpool was ahead. When he was asked about few players are coming back, he said, I dont care who comes back, no one of them runs enough.
I see your logic but there are a couple of (fairly big) issues with the idea ralf would begin to implement a playing style like ten hags. One is that ralfs preferred style of football isn't even that similar to ten hags beyond being vaguely progressive. The other is that he abandoned trying to play the type of football he is renowned for after one game because the players couldn't or weren't willing to play like that. For the last few months we have had the sort of football a more pragmatic manager would have played but without any of the defensive solidity
I love this man. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I'm equally excited with him going upstairs and ETH taking the reins.
I'm very optimistic they will make a fantastic tandem and complement each other, if RR is given enough control.

Aryas death list style
Yeah it defo feels like that. I hope he does name names. Find out who really are the viruses in the club.
Rangnick can fecking assult the players and still retain my support. Infact, it will increase my support for him.
I think the proof is in the pudding. He won't have to because the players he wants to name will be shipped out pretty sharpish
Quick way to get yourself a statueTen Hag would be wise to ask for Rangnick to stay at the club and be given a position of authority. At least then the last 6 months wont have been a total waste.
They should keep Ralf at the club as a threat if nothing else. "You get Ten Hag sacked and we wheel Ralf back out for the rest of the season, is that what you lot want!?"
He is so full of himself it's absurd.
Above, one poster has compared him to a sushi cook in an italian restaurant. That sushi cook should have been humble, and not brag about his culinary prowess then.
