Ralf Rangnick and Man Utd chief John Murtough barely spoke as pair's problems laid bare

Ralf Rangnick's interim spell at Manchester United was less than impressive and issues off the field reflected those on it.

The Red Devils ended up finishing sixth with the German unable to impart any of his wisdom for which he had so long been heralded. Old Trafford chief John Murtough was the man to appoint Rangnick following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

However it quickly became apparent that the pair had their differences and by the end of his tenure Rangnick didn't even speak to the man who had originally given him the role and had plans to keep him on in a consultancy position. The Austrian didn't feel he got the necessary support as results continued to nosedive, reports the BBC.
