Ralf Rangnick did not mince his words 12 months ago when describing the extensive work that would be needed to be done when Erik ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford.
"You don’t even need glasses to see and analyse where the problems are," Rangnick said. "Now it’s about how do we solve them? It’s not enough to do some minor amendments – cosmetic things.
"In medicine, you would say that this is an operation of the open heart. If this happens and everyone has realised that this has to happen and if people want to work together then it makes sense and I believe it doesn’t take two or three years to change those things. This can happen within one year."
