Manchester United told they would be challenging for title under a 'better manager'

Former England World Cup goalkeeper David James has suggested Manchester United would be fighting for the title under a "better manager."

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick looks set to miss out on the top four target he was set when he replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earlier in the season. The German has drawn criticism for not being able to maintain squad cohesion with leading players consistently underperforming.

James says the United squad is steeped in quality but Rangnick is not up to the task of drawing the best out of them when the team need it most. Speaking to GGRecon, he said: “It's one of those things where I see the squad and I look at each player - [Scott] McTominay, [Paul] Pogba, [Marcus] Rashford, [Jadon] Sancho, whatever - all these players are top drawer players but they're not playing top drawer football.
