Ralf Rangnick reveals how many days it took him to identify Manchester United's main problems

Former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has revealed that he had identified all of the club's main problems within just two weeks of his arrival at Old Trafford.

Rangnick was considered a left-field choice to succeed the Norwegian, having spent just two seasons out of the past decade in the dugout.

Rangnick, now in charge of the Austrian national team, was more familiar with an upstairs, advisory-type role, overseeing recruitment and sporting development, at clubs such as RB Leipzig and Lokomotiv Moscow. However, he produced a good sales pitch to United, and was selected as the man to try and arrest the club's slump.
