Ralf Rangnick refuses to answer Erik ten Hag question ahead of Man Utd appointment

Ralf Rangnick refused to speak about Erik ten Hag - despite the Dutchman's imminent appointment as Manchester United boss.

Ajax boss Ten Hag is set to be confirmed as United's fifth permanent boss since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Interim United boss Rangnick was asked for his view on ten Hag's appointment but refused to open up about the 52-year-old.

"I don't know if it's a done deal and my reply is the same - my focus is on the game against Norwich and to prepare the team on a higher level for the game," said Rangnick. "It doesn't make sense [to talk about ten Hag]. We all know he's a good manager, done a good job at Ajax and former clubs, but it doesn't make sense if I tell you what I think of another coach."
