Nyt puhui Rangnick niin fiksuja, että on pakko laittaa koko setti tänne. Tämän takia allekirjoitan täysin ajatuksen, että hän saattaa olla parasta, mitä Unitedille on tapahtunut sitten Fergusonin lähdön.
Kyllähän tuo on ihan karkkia korville.
In Germany we have a head coach and then there is usually a minimum of two skilled people continuously in the club on a longer-term basis responsible for recruitment, scouting and any daily operation. They also bring in the right and best possible head coach for the team. This still hasn't got a big tradition here and so the job of a sporting director or director of football - only a few clubs have that. I know that for the future, and I think even more so for a big club like Manchester United, 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. 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.
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. 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. All the others signed since then have been signed exactly under those premises: how do we want to play? They have to be able and willing to run and sprint a lot. They have to be physical. They have to be technical. They have to be clinical. The profile for each position [at Liverpool] has been clear and that's why they are where they are. And, here at Manchester United, this hasn't been the case with every change of manager. 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.
The players have to give their very best no matter who the next manager will be, and if he's announced in one or two or three weeks, I don't think that this affects the current situation we're in. 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. 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 Manchester United.
If you look at the size of the way the team needs to be rebuilt, I mean, 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 with the contracts running out. I think apart from the goalkeeping, we need to make sure that we improve the squad in all areas. To bring in players who really help the team to get better — what kind of players do we need in order to play whichever kind of football we want to play? It [goalkeepers] hasn’t been an issue this season actually, but again, this is also something that needs to be taken into consideration when you know who your manager is. I mean, for me, David [de Gea] has been outstanding since I arrived. If you look into Manchester City and Liverpool and how they've invested in goalkeepers… but again, this is an issue we can only speak about when we know who will be the new manager and how does he want to play.
