Ralf Rangnick believes there is a core group of 'top players' for Manchester United to rebuild their squad around in the summer.
Rangnick's tenure as interim manager comes to an end on Sunday at Crystal Palace, where United have to match or better West Ham's result at Brighton to qualify for the Europa League and finish sixth.
United have only won 11 of Rangnick's 28 games in charge and went out of the FA Cup in the fourth round and the Champions League in the round-of-16 under the German, suffering humiliating Premier League defeats at Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton, where they shipped four goals in each of them.
