Man United trainer: a humiliation, Liverpool is 6 years ahead of ANP
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick feels humiliated with his team. The ‘Mancunians’ had to bow 4-0 to Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield. “It is shameful and disappointing, perhaps even humiliating. We have to accept that they are six years ahead of us,” said the German interim coach, who will probably be succeeded by Erik ten Hag after this season.
Liverpool beat Man United 5-0 earlier this season at Old Trafford and again triumphed in front of their home crowd with big numbers. Never before have Manchester United conceded so many goals against a certain opponent in a season.
“When Jurgen Klopp came to Liverpool, that changed the club. Not only did their team get better, but it lifted the club and the whole city to the next level,” Rangnick said of his compatriot Klopp. The German has been working with the ‘Reds’ since 2015 and won the Champions League and the national title with Liverpool.
“That should also happen to us in the coming transfer periods,” said Rangnick. According to English media, Manchester United wants to announce the arrival of Ten Hag this week, also to take the attention away from the sporting setbacks. Ajax receives a lump sum payment for Ten Hag, because his contract continues for another year. Alfred Schreuder, the current trainer of Club Brugge, is reportedly an important candidate to succeed Ten Hag in Amsterdam.
