Manchester United's next manager might, quite literally, be staring them in the face.
Because while the second half performance at Brentford and Marcus Rashford's last gasp winner against West Ham show the green shoots of a United recovery, Ralf Rangnick's job appears to be nowhere near complete. The German is standing at the foot of his own mountain at Old Trafford, with the club having seen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fallen trying to scale his own.
Put in simple terms, Rangnick has a lot more work to do at United and the door is open for him to stay on for an extra 12 months.
