Ralf Rangnick's time at Manchester United has come to a premature end and the players at Old Trafford won't necessarily be sad to see him go.
The German took over on an interim basis from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in December and was poised to take up a consultancy role following this season. Those plans have been axed and the tactician will now go his own way having accepted the job as Austria's manager.
Rangnick was never shy to speak his mind and some will have been fearing the messages he may have passed on to Erik ten Hag after witnessing first hand the worst United season of the Premier League era. The 63-year-old may have had a sky high reputation in his homeland, but his CV did leave himself open to criticism.
