Romelu Lukaku shows next Chelsea owner how they can avoid Manchester United's brutal collapse

It is hard not to bask in a little bit of schadenfreude after seeing how little an impact Ralf Rangnick has actually had on that Manchester United dressing room. In the final weeks of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's doomed time in a burning hot seat, many pundits and experts alike trotted out the now overused line of "look at what Thomas Tuchel has done at Chelsea".

This was used as not only a justification for sacking Solskjaer but also because of the wonderful transformation at Stamford Bridge following the dismissal of another club legend, logic entailed that the same would unfold at Old Trafford.

What the last five months have shown us, is not that Rangnick is a poor coach, but that the United dressing room has become almost unmanageable. All too often in the modern game, we ascribe all of our ire to the feet of a head coach. Due to the success and admiration for the work of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, it is easy to see how this mindset took hold.
