Ralf Rannick has dismissed claims that it has compiled a dossier on the workforce of the MManchester United for Erik ten Hag in which he would supposedly question the professionalism of his players: “That is completely false.”
Rangnick has been caretaker manager since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November, but will be replaced by Ten Hag, the Ajax manager, this summer. The German has had trouble turning United’s fortunes around: they were eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 by Atletico Madrid and are on a run of two wins in eight Premier League games that seems to have dashed their hopes of finish in the top four.
Rangnick will take on a consulting role at Old Trafford from the summer, but when asked to comment on reports he was alleged to have prepared for Ten Hag about the team he would inherit, the German told Sky Sports: “This is completely untrue, completely wrong.” false. The board has never asked me to prepare a dossier, neither for the board nor for Erik.”
Regular conversations with management
And he continued: “I also did not say anything to anyone criticizing the attitude of the players for being unprofessional or selfish. This is not true, I will always protect my players. They have never caused problems by being unprofessional or selfish.” “I have been talking to the board regularly exchanging impressions on the current situation. For me it is important, together with Erik and the scouting department, to be able to build a new team, a new group of quality players that Erik, along with his body technically, he will develop and take this club to a level where the fans will want to see Manchester United.
