Ralf Rangnick is ‘relaxed’ about letting go ‘as many as four’ Manchester United players before the transfer window closes, according to reports.
Anthony Martial has already exited United. He has joined La Liga side Sevilla on loan until the end of the season.
Amad Diallo looks set to join Martial in leaving as he has agreed to spend the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign with Rangers.
F365 Says: For once, Man Utd had a plan. They should stick to it…
ESPN are reporting that Rangnick is open to four players leaving Man Utd this month. In addition to Martial and Diallo, the German is also ‘relaxed’ about Jesse Lingard and Donny van de Beek going.
The interim boss ‘was initially reluctant’ to allow as many players to depart. But the report adds that the ’emergence of Anthony Elanga’ has ‘convinced’ him to change his mind.
The 19-year-old has started United’s last three games in the Premier League. He got on the scoresheet against Brentford on January 19.
Elsewhere, Rene Meulensteen thinks Man Utd “need” Paul Pogba in their midfield as Scott McTominay and Fred aren’t good enough to get the Red Devils challenging for titles
“I don’t know what has gone wrong there. It has been a major disappointment.
“Maybe because he was in a great Juventus team it was easier to shine but he hasn’t been able to lift United.
“It needs someone like him in the midfield. I don’t believe Scott McTominay and Fred have all that United need to be challenging again.”
On Ronaldo, Meulensteen added: “You look at what he has done in his career and continues to do. If he gets four chances he will score one or two, how many players can you say that about?
“So what do you do? You find a way to supply him the chances.”
On always thinking about the present and future, Meulensteen continued: “We always had two watch-words — ‘being’ and ‘becoming’ — when identifying players. For example, Robin van Persie was ‘being’ as he was the present, the here and now.
But you were always looking for the ‘becoming’ who would take their place. You look at how Guardiola has handled Phil Foden, he was being told he was the ‘becoming’ and, once David Silva left, there you go — that’s what I’m talking about.”
