Man United: Rangnick reveals what he told Ten Hag ahead of EPL final game

Outgoing Manchester United coach, Ralf Rangnick has revealed he will meet with his predecessor, Erik ten Hag over the weekend as he looks to help the Red Devils rebuild after a frustrating season.

Rangnick will play his final game at the United helm at Crystal Palace on Sunday, with the Old Trafford outfit only able to finish as high as sixth at the end of a poor Premier League season, while their major trophy drought will now stretch to five years.

Ten Hag will reportedly attend United’s match at Selhurst Park, where the Red Devils need to win to guarantee they will not drop to seventh in the final standings, which would mark their joint-worst finish in the Premier League (alongside the 2013-14 season) and see them play Europa Conference League football next term, Livescore reports.

The former RB Leipzig director of football also reiterated his belief that United can return to the top of the English game within “two or three” transfer windows if they get their recruitment right.

“We’ve been in contact via WhatsApp, and hopefully I will have the opportunity to speak and meet in person either over the weekend or by Monday morning at the latest,” Rangnick said.

“I’m looking forward to speaking with him in person and getting to know him.

“I still strongly believe that there is a core of players who are top, who are good enough to play for this club, and hopefully most of those players will still be here next season.

“As I said earlier on, if the board, Erik, the scouting department – and I will help them with all the issues that I can – If we can bring in the right mentality of players, the right quality of players, I’m positive that we will be able to bring this club, not only back on track but back to the top.

“This is what it’s all about in the next couple of weeks, maybe it will not happen in one transfer window, but I’m very positive it can happen in the next two or three windows.”
