Rangnick gives update on his Man Utd future amid Austria job links after Man United appointed new coach arrive old Trafford for a new era

Ralf Rangnick having a “clean break” from Manchester United could be best for all parties, according to Red Devils legend Roy Keane.

The 63-year-old was hired as interim boss at the end of last year, tasked with guiding a beleaguered United squad until the end of the season. His remit was to ensure the new manager came into the best possible situation - and a place in next season’s Champions League.

But after getting his stint off to a positive start, results have nosedived and last weekend’s defeat at Arsenal all but extinguished any lingering hopes of a top-four finish. Last week it was confirmed that Ajax boss Erik ten Hag will be Rangnick’s long-term replacement, signing a three-year deal which begins at the start of pre-season.

As for the experienced German tactician, he has been offered a two-year consultancy role at Old Trafford, but recent reports have claimed that he is ready to turn that down in order to take the Austrian national team job.

The OFB are on the lookout for a new head coach after Franco Foda retired earlier this year and the Daily Mail have reported that Rangnick is considering an offer to replace him. That’s despite Rangnick, speaking earlier this week, that he was looking forward to working alongside Ten Hag in the weeks to come.

“I strongly believe that there is a lot of things that can become better and will become better with a new manager and hopefully with some new players, with some fresh energy in that squad," he declared.
