DBasia.news – Since Manchester United dismissed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, appointed Ralf Rangnick as manager on an interim contract until the end of the season, then continued as a consultant for two years, change was expected.
Man United’s performance in the remainder of the 2021-2022 season is far from satisfactory, even in the severe category as United failed to win a trophy (for five consecutive seasons) and also moved away from the top four standings.
Rangnick is still in his role as interim manager, but he is now preparing for a new era for United under Erik ten Hag. He has been confirmed as United’s new manager from 2022 to 2025, plus an option to extend for a year.
Rangnick works as a manager, but on the other hand the German man is slowly starting to carry out his duties as a consultant. His influence has already begun to be seen with his recommendation to the club to sign Ten Hag.
After the Ten Hag, as quoted from 90min, Rangnick wanted United to bring in Paul Mitchell to work as Director of Sport at Man United and work closely with the current Director, John Murtough.
Mitchell is known as a reliable recruiter who is well-known in Europe who is currently working at AS Monaco. He has also worked at Tottenham Hotspur and with Rangnick at RB Leipzig.
Rangnick has also peddled several names of players who can be recruited by United in the summer of 2022. Therefore, he needs Mitchell who has the same vision as him in building the squad.
“I’m looking forward to helping Erik and everyone at the club get the best out of it, as well as an overall change of approach next season so that Man United can be a top club again,” Rangnick stated.
