Ralf Rangnick, the former interim manager of Manchester United, has reiterated his earlier claims that the club required 'open heart surgery' to address its ongoing struggles. Reflecting on his brief tenure, he noted that current manager Erik ten Hag recently acknowledged Rangnick's assessment, which he made after a series of poor performances in 2022. Despite significant summer spending of £205 million, Manchester United has continued to falter, losing two of their first three matches this season and finishing eighth in the previous campaign, their worst league performance in history. Rangnick emphasized that addressing the club's issues will require more than just minor changes and could be resolved within a year if everyone works together. He criticized the club's mismanagement post-Sir Alex Ferguson and warned of the need for a transformative approach to regain competitiveness. Meanwhile, Manchester United is reportedly targeting Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze to bolster their squad amid ongoing challenges.
