Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has rubbished reports Manchester United asked him to compile a dossier for new manager Erik ten Hag in which he slammed current players for lacking professionalism. Rangnick will hold the fort until Ten Hag steps in as a permanent replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this summer.
Having seen their title aspirations descend into tatters, Rangnick was appointed in December. Under his watch a failure to secure top-four seems increasingly likely while, following exits from the FA Cup and Champions League, the Old Trafford giants have now gone five seasons without picking up a trophy.
Several high-profile players have underperformed this campaign and United have often relied on David de Gea to save them or Cristiano Ronaldo brilliance to inspire them. However, despite admitting that United need to rebuild, Rangnick says that he has not - and has never had - any issues regarding attitude within the group.
