Rangnick  rebuilding the system

Ralf Rangnick was appointed as the club’s interim manager only recently, and he’s slowly but steadily introducing his own staff. He chose American Armas as his assistant earlier this month, following Carrick’s departure after a three-game caretaker stint.

The German coach has a track record of developing clubs and assisting in the formation of structures, therefore the coaches should be trusted until the results on the field show otherwise. First team coach McKenna left his role last week to start his new chapter as the manager for League One side, Ipswich Town. Despite the appointment of Armas, Rangnick stated that Mike Phelan remained part of United’s coaching staff.

Fans’ doubts and faiths

Fans may be concerned about the absence of high-quality coaching, which was also an issue under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but Rangnick deserves a chance. Regardless of whether that was true or not, the great Norwegian had to go after two successful years since the results were not good enough. Many supporters turned against Mike Phelan, Michael Carrick, and Kieran McKenna near the conclusion of Solskjaer’s reign, believing the squad was poorly managed.
