Rangnick singles out big-money Man Utd transfer that ‘doesn't make sense' and slams club's lack of ‘decision-makers'
RALF RANGNICK has slammed Manchester United's lack of leadership and questioned their transfer policy. The German was in charge for 29 games in the 2021-22 season, replacing the sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on an interim basis. Advertisement 2 Ralf Rangnick has slammed the lack of leaders at Man Utd Credit: AFP 2 The former boss also criticised the transfer policy that led to signings like Casemiro Credit: Getty Rangnick was vocal in his criticism of the club during his stint in charge and called for sweeping changes to be made, particularly in recruitment. He has emphasised that argument once again, recommending He told "Does it make sense to spend £30, 40, 50 million on a 28 or 30-year-old signing? Not really. "Let's calculate it. You sign a 28 or 30-year-old with a five-year contract. You spend £50m more on the transfer fee, an average of £15m per year multiplied by five. "That's £65m plus the £50m transfer fee equals £115m, plus the agents' fees. The whole operation costs you around £130m." Advertisement READ MORE ON MAN UTD Rangnick, 66, believes a key problem at United is the lack of leadership at the club. He argues there has been an absence of decision-makers at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, leading to problems on and off the pitch. Rangnick continued: "I think we have to go back to 2013, when Sir Alex left the club. And at the time he was still there, he was the mastermind behind it all. He probably also brought a lot of important people to the club. "And the moment he left, some of those people probably left the club as well. And, since then, I think they have a leadership problem.

I can only tell you that the six months I was there, it was difficult to say, even for me as head coach. "Who were the decision-makers? Who? Who could I talk to? If we wanted to sign new players, it was difficult. There were people, but in the end, it was difficult." Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney lands new job working alongside fellow Premier League icon

Pep Guardiola warns he will swing the axe to trim Man City squad with 17 stars' futures in doubt
PEP GUARDIOLA has warned he will have to swing the axe to trim his Manchester City squad. England trio Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips were left at home when City boss Guardiola named a Advertisement 3 Pep Guardiola is ready for a summer overhaul at Man City Credit: Getty 3 Jack Grealish, out of favour under Pep, is being targeted by Napoli Credit: Alamy 3 Defender John Stones wants to stay and battle for a place next season Credit: Getty And midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is the latest star to be linked with a move away from the Etihad Guardiola said: 'With Ilkay, no news is good news. I don't know anything and I didn't speak with him. 'But at the same time we have — right now — a long squad, too many players. We cannot go with 26, 27 players this season because there would be more not playing. 'Step by step maybe a few players are going to move.' Advertisement READ MORE ON FOOTBALL Guardiola says his squad is currently too large - despite the demands of competing for the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. The Etihad chief has brought in seven new faces during the calendar year ... and now has more than THIRTY outfield men. So several will either be sent out on loan or sold before the transfer window closes at the end of August. Guardiola admits it will be agonising to show the door to some players he would rather keep with him - but feels he must be fair to those who would rarely feature. Advertisement Most read in Football Breaking BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK The Spaniard, 54, added: 'I would love to have the players that we have now all season. I would love it. 'I don't have any complaints about the players, how they behave.

Advertisement 'They will be sad, they will be disappointed. I don't want that. 'For me it's not a problem. I have more selection and I don't like six, seven players, just in case, no injuries, being at home. 'So I do it that way. I do that for them. That's why we have to see what happens. We still have a long time, I would say, until the transfer window will be closed. We'll see what happens step by step.' Promising midfielder James McAtee, 22, is likely to leave after deciding to go to the Euros with England Under-21s rather than join City in the USA.

AFTER a disappointing 2024-25 season, Pep Guardiola is overhauling his Manchester City squad. SunSport's MARTIN BLACKBURN analyses the state of play at the Etihad . . . INS Newcomers Tijjani Reijnders from Milan, Rayan Cherki from Lyon, Wolves' Rayan Ait-Nouri and former Chelsea goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli bolster the squad. The likes of Stefan Ortega, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji, Bernardo Silva, Savinho, Omar Marmoush, Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku and a fit-again Rodri are staying as they bid to improve on last year's below-par campaign. OUTS Loyal servant Kyle Walker, 35, looks to have kicked his last ball for City. Jack Grealish is also on the move from the Etihad, with Napoli the frontrunners for the wideman — who cost Pep's side £100million in 2021. Kalvin Phillips, James McAtee and Maximo Perrone are also heading for the exit door. MAYBES The futures of keeper Ederson, John Stones, Rico Lewis, Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov, Nico O'Reilly, Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan, Nico Gonzalez, Matheus Nunes, Claudio Echeverri and Oscar Bobb are not yet set in stone. Most will be kept but some will go — either permanently or on loan — to free up space in the squad. Defender John Stones had a disastrous season — missing 34 games due to injuries — and is heading into the final year of his contract. He has been linked But the 31-year-old is determined to see out the next 12 months and complete a decade at the Etihad rather than look for a new challenge. Advertisement Asked if he has heard anything from the club about a new deal, Stones said: 'Nothing really, But I'm here and I want to stay here. 'I love it. I'm here to help the team. I don't know what's been said or speculated, but I hope that shuts it down.'
