Ralf Rangnick was reportedly warned that managing Manchester United would lead to unprecedented scrutiny of his results and decision-making in the media and among supporters.
The Austrian's time in charge of the club on an Interim basis came to an end following their 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on the final day of the season. The Red Devils finished the campaign with their lowest-ever Premier League points total, having accumulated just 58 points from their 38 matches - six fewer than their previous fewest.
They also ended with six successive away losses for the first time in over four decades - a damning record for a side which finished in second last season and went over a year without losing a game away from home. But the Red Devils were disappointing throughout the entire campaign and only just managed to qualify for the Europa League.
