Unfortunately, United didn't have much success in the cup competitions, with a 2-1 defeat to rivals Man City knocking United out of the FA Cup in the fifth round. With United already out of the Carabao Cup on Rangnick's arrival, he was left with the FA Cup and the Champions League. So, where did United finish at the end of the 2021/22 season? Let's take a look. Rangnick's ability to work with youngsters was on display in his six months in charge, handing 28 starts to Amad who grabbed nine goals and eight assists. Alvarez in particular, had an incredible few months at United, scoring 18 times in 33 starts, with Ronaldo's game time being limited as a result. Rangnick spent a combined £50million in the winter window on Atalanta midfielder Martin de Roon and River Plate striker Julian Alvarez, with both players suited to Rangnick's high energy pressing game.

Could he help put United's season back on track and guide them to a top-four finish? Rangnick is known for his stellar record in the transfer market, with the 63-year-old having signed Sadio Mane and Erling Haaland for RB Salzburg, as well as bringing Timo Werner from Frankfurt to RB Leipzig during his time as manager of the club in 2016. United have been searching for a new manager since Sunday after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, putting an end to his three-year reign as manager.Ĭurrently, a deal has been struck between Rangnick and United - but not with Lokomotiv Moscow, who only acquired the services of the 63-year-old in July this year. The Manchester Evening News understands that the deal between United and Rangnick will see him join the club on a six-month contract as manager and then remain at the club for two years beyond the end of the season in a consultancy role.
Manchester United are close to appointing Ralf Rangnick as their interim manager until the end of the season.
