Ralf Rangnick believes Manchester United need 'continuity and consistency' at all levels if they are going to close the gap on Man City in the years to come. United travel to face City in the Premier League this weekend and head into the match a staggering 19-points behind their noisy neighbours.
United have gradually fallen further and further behind their local rivals in the years since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, with the club struggling to find consistency in regards to their planning both on and off the pitch.
To return to the summit of English football United will not only need to play catch-up with City and Liverpool, but find a way to move ahead of them as well.
