Rangnick Urges Man Utd To Imitate Liverpool Rebuild Model For Success

THEWILL APP ADS 2
April 19, (THEWILL) – Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has argued that unless Manchester United follow Liverpool’s rebuilding process under Jurgen Klopp, they could go years without competing for a trophy.
When Klopp joined in 2015, Liverpool was way behind Europe’s elite, but his clever tactics and exceptional signings have transformed the Reds into legitimate contenders for every title available this season.
Rangnick will move into a consultancy job in the summer to create room in the dugout for the next manager, who is expected to be Ajax’s Erik ten Hag, and he said that he will push those around him to follow Liverpool’s example.
“I don’t think a club like Manchester United can afford to take three or four years in order to [reach Liverpool’s level],” he said. “I don’t think that is necessary.
“We spoke and how long it took them. It will take two or three windows if you know what you are looking for. If you don’t know what you are looking for, it is a needle in a haystack. If you know what kind of football you want to play and what kind of profiles for each individual position, then it is about finding them and convincing them to come.
“Liverpool finished eighth [in Klopp’s first season]. The year after they didn’t play [European] football at all so the full focus in the second season of Jurgen was on the Premier League and the national cup competitions. Then it took two transfer windows.
“But even in the other transfer windows that came later on there has been a lot of very good transfers and signings. This is what it is all about. It is not complicated. It is not rocket science. But in order to have the best possible wind [behind your sails], you need to know what your destination haven is. If you don’t know that, it is always difficult.”
Rangnick told United that they may have to put their title hopes on hold while they work to improve their squad, although he added that it is unlikely that United will replicate Liverpool’s 30-year title drought.
“[Thirty years] without a title? I suppose this will not happen because it is pretty obvious what needs to change,” he said. “There needs to be a rebuild for the future. I don’t think this [a 30-year title drought] will happen.”
