Alan Shearer has questioned what is happening on the Manchester United training ground with their underperforming stars showing they have “zero knowledge” when it comes to pressing.
Ralf Rangnick was hired as interim boss in December of last year, with a glowing reputation as the ‘Godfather of Gegenpressing’ with disciples including Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel. It was hoped then that the German would be able to impart his wisdom on a squad which had become lazy and lethargic under his predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
But with just four games of his stint in the dugout remaining, the Red Devils still resemble a shell of a Premier League team and are miles off the pace when it comes to the top flight’s real contenders. United’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of Arsenal has effectively confirmed they will miss out on the top four and the Champions League qualification which comes with it.
