Man United: Rangnick content with OT squad strength

New Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick is convinced he has the quality of players needed at Old Trafford to challenge for the game's top honours.




The former RB Leipzig coach, who has been hailed as a great influence on managers such as Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel, has taken control of the Red Devils on an interim basis following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last month.


Top four the realistic target

The 63-year-old will initially be in charge until the end of the season and, with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City set to fight it out for the Premier League title this term, Rangnick will be looking to at least claim fourth spot.

"When Jurgen Klopp went to Liverpool, it definitely wasn't a better squad than what I have at United.

"In the ideal world, we will not only be in the top four regularly but also playing for titles. This is also something that is in the DNA of the club, winning leagues, winning cups, being as successful as you can be in the Champions League.

"This is also an issue for the new year. We're still in the Champions League and depending on the draw, hopefully we can get further in that competition."
