Man Utd news: Ralf Rangnick backs £23m transfer, Anthony Martial woes continue

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has backed the club to sign RB Leipzig star Konrad Laimer to solve their problems in midfield.

The Old Trafford outfit have struggled for consistency on the pitch this season and face a summer of upheaval as they aim to appoint a new manager and overhaul their playing squad to help them get back to the top of English football. Rangnick is expected to take up a consultancy role at the club at the end of the season and could have a say on the rebuilding process, and is advocating for the Red Devils to bring in Laimer as a replacement for Paul Pogba.

It comes as star forward Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message to fans after recovering from illness. And Anthony Martial has found his struggles have very much continued following his loan move to Sevilla.
