Ralf Rangnick has backtracked on comments that it could take more than five years for Manchester United to chase Liverpool, backing Erik ten Hag to get the rebuild right.
The United interim boss came in for criticism when he suggested that the Red Devils were six years away from competing with their old rivals, after they were thrashed 4-0 at Anfield. "It's embarrassing, it's completely disappointing, in a way also humiliating," Rangnick told beIN Sports. "We have to accept Liverpool are six years ahead of us.”
But the German, who is now set to juggle his responsibilities between a consultancy role at Old Trafford and as manager of the Austrian national team, thinks Ten Hag can get the ball rolling quicker than that.
