The Manchester United Thread

Rangnick on how long it will take for #mufc to reach Liverpool’s level: “I don’t think that a club like Manchester United can afford to take three or four years in order to achieve that, and I don’t think it is necessary.”

Rangnick: “We spoke about Liverpool earlier on, how long it took for them [to rebuild]. After two or three transfer windows if you know what you’re looking for I mean if you don’t know what you’re looking for you’ll always looking for the needle in the haystack.”

Rangnick: “If you know what kind of football you want to play, what kind of profiles you have for each individual position it’s about finding them, but not only finding them but also convincing them to come.”

Rangnick: “As I said Liverpool at the time [of appointing Klopp] they finished eighth I think the year after they didn’t play international football at all, so the full focus of Jurgen [Klopp] was on the Premier League and the national cup competitions.”

Rangnick: “I think then it took, I don’t know, two transfer windows but even in the other transfer windows that came later on, they just made lots of very, very good transfers and signings, and this is what it’s all about.”

Rangnick: “It [a successful rebuild] is not that complicated, it’s not rocket science, but in order to have your best possible wind, you need to know where your destination haven is. If you don’t know that, it’s always difficult.”

Rangnick asked whether #mufc could go 30 years without a title like Liverpool: “I suppose that will not happen because it is pretty obvious what needs to change and there needs to be a rebuild for the future. I don’t think that this will happen.”
 
Jesus, you've managed to corrupt Wreck-It Ralph already to unprecidendented levels of delusion.

Good job all concerned. 👍🏻👏🏻

All the best this evening. Here's to a belter game, with no injuries. And no VAR bollocks ruining it.
 
Yeah it’s gonna be a great game with this as our starting 11

DDG
AWB-Linderlof-Maguire-Telles
Pogba
Bruno-Lingard
Mata-Rashford-Sancho

😕😩 Derby or not. Anything less than a battering I will be disappointed in Liverpool all things considered. Especially as Norwich and Everton created chances at will.
 
Rangnick announces Man Utd revolution: "It's not enough to bring in three or four new players. It will be more, bearing in mind how many players will no longer be here [out of contract]" And transferred. @SkySportNews #MUFC "Apart from goalkeeping, we need to improve the squad in ALL areas".
 
Rangnick: "I know that for the future, and I think even more so for a big club like #mufc, you can't put all the whole responsibility on the shoulder of one person - on the manager. I'm not sure if this can be dealt with by one person, no matter how good he is.” #mulive [sky]


Rangnick: “I know Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea also have smart people who take care of recruitment, scouting, the medical department… I think this is also an issue for our club, where they have to pay attention to.” #mulive [sky]

Rangnick: “I told the board members about what I have experienced so far, and what I think are the important things we have to pay attention to, and where we have to make sure that we maybe get better at.” #mulive [sky]

Rangnick: “With Liverpool, it's clear why they are playing as aggressive as they do - it's since Jürgen arrived. If you compare the squad that he inherited six years ago and compare it with the present, I think there are maybe four or five players still there.” #mulive [sky]

Rangnick: “The profile for each position [at Liverpool] has been clear and that's why they are where they are. And, here at #mufc, this hasn't been the case with every change of manager.” #mulive [sky]
 
Rangnick: “New players came in, but it was not under that pre-condition of how do we want to play, and this is for sure something that needs to be changed in the future — now we have to play with the players that we have available and get the best out of them till the end of the season.” #mulive [sky]

Rangnick: “Of course it's important to know who will be the new manager, because to start the recruitment process, to find the best possible players only makes sense if you know who will be the manager and how does he want to play.” #mulive [sky]


Rangnick: “There might be a couple of players - and I have already named those players to the board - that independent from formation, from style of football, and independent from a new manager, that could be of interest for a club like #mufc.” #mulive [sky]

I don’t understand what he stated that screamed “unprecidendented levels of delusion”
 
Manchester United's French forward Noam Emeran (19) will extend his contract and go on loan next season with Nantes and Lyon interested. (FM)
 
Well that went exactly as expected! Should be embarrassed for the effort alone. Sancho showed more quality and running in that 45 mins than Rashford has for about 2 seasons. And Hannibal showed more fight than the lot of em have all season. Those 2 and Elanga are the only ones to come out with any credit after that.
 
Great assist from Mané for the second goal, but Maguire never shoud've let that ball pass

Yer messing aren't yer? Hannibal should have walked if Atkinson wasn't such an inept referee, Ridiculous stupidity in quick succession as he did his best to get a red. And Elenga's want for throwing his hands in the air and screaming at everyone but his own ***** crosses/ passes, is a very poor look indeed. Not least on a young player's attitude.

Not one single Utd player comes out with any credit from what is by far and away the single worst Utd side I've ever seen.

Which is quite the impressive achievement from Wreck-It Ralph considering he's making the PE Teacher look competent. And he's the one advising on a rebuild ........ 🤦🏼‍♂️

There’s some recency bias here mate considering performances were slipping fast under Solskjaer (plus we got gobbedsmacked by you lot 5-0 at OT of all places)

I expected this result today as I was sure majority of this lot don’t understand what it is to put on that shirt.

Ralf is probably a ***** manager but there’s no one I’d trust more with given the full responsibility of overseeing a rebuild than him. He’s been handicapped by an unbalanced squad coupled with injuries (so much we had no left back playing today)
 
You're not normally one for excuses mate but that's full of them. He's been there long enough to not put forth that total shitshow of absolutely nothing. Everyone, rightly, wanted Solksjaer binned for that. What's the difference?

He talks a good game. And there it ends. This is the worst Utd side I've ever seen. And the quietest I've ever heard a Utd away crowd reflects that. But all the best to you mate if you believe the players that will be left, and they'll be a good few rolling over, will buy into any new manager he hand picks when he's totally lost every last one of them as it is. Or that he'll be able to work and rebuild anything when the whole structure is still F from the snakes head on down.

I hope that hope works out for you.
