Although Manchester United's decision to appoint Ralf Rangnick as interim manager last season was baffling, there certainly would have been merit in bringing the Gerrman to the club as a football director, a position held by John Murtough.
Rangnick had a varied managerial career before replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but he'd only managed RB Leipzig for two seasons in the last decade prior to joining United, which meant he'd become more known for his boardroom experience.
The 64-year-old enjoyed great success working as football director for both RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg and he was responsible for bargain deals for Joshua Kimmich, Ibrahima Konate, Naby Keita, Timo Werner and Marcel Sabitzer, to name a few.
