Ralf Rangnick admits he's had no contact with Erik ten Hag as he makes Man Utd pledge

Ten Hag Ralf Rangnick Erik ten Hag Ajax Manchester United

Ralf Rangnick has pledged his full support behind incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag - but hasn't even spoken to him yet.

The Red Devils interim manager will make way for Ten Hag when this season comes to an end, with the acclaimed German coach stepping into a consultancy role at Old Trafford for at least two years. With only four games to go, preparations are well underway for Ten Hag's arrival from Ajax, but Rangnick has revealed that he is yet to have a conversation with the Dutch tactician.

Speaking ahead of United's Premier League clash with Chelsea on Thursday, the 63-year-old told reporters: "[Ten Hag's] focus is on Ajax now and trying to win the title there, my focus for the next few weeks is on our club, on getting the best possible results. Whenever he has time, or would like to speak, yes I am available, but I would not want to contact him on my own account now."
