Ralf Rangnick admits Manchester United will find it hard convincing top players to sign for them after failing to make the Champions League.
Rangnick, who will take up a two-year consultancy role when the season ends, also urged United to stop signing superstar names and focus on emerging young players.
Interim boss Rangnick acknowledged Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea now have the edge over United when it comes to signing the best players in Europe. Rangnick believes United should be signing the likes of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, but conceded rivals who can offer Champions League football have a huge advantage.
