Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has moved to clarify divisive comments he made about the impending Manchester United rebuild and comparing it to open-heart surgery. Rangnick will take charge of the final four games this season before handing over the reigns to incoming successor Erik ten Hag.
Change is on the horizon at Old Trafford and Rangnick himself will play a part there. Indeed, the German is ready to move into an advisory position he will operate in alongside coaching the Austria national team. Two leading scouts are on their way, meanwhile, as transfer negotiator Matt Judge has also tendered his resignation.
Judge and the others are set to follow executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward out the door. It means United could embrace a fresh outlook when it comes to the market and, speaking previously, Rangnick compared their rebuild to open-heart surgery. Those full-on words drew a mixed response at the time.
