Reds ready to rip up recruitment plans'

RALF Rangnick believes United are ready to rip up their approach to recruitment and start again after holding talks with the board.

The 63-year-old will take charge of his final game today as United face Crystal Palace, with Erik ten Hag officially replacing Rangnick on Monday.

But the German will then begin a two-year consultancy contract and much of that work is expected to revolve around recruitment, an area Rangnick specialises in.

He excelled as director of football for the Red Bull network of clubs and has had a successful recruitment strategy wherever he has been.

As a manager at United he has struggled, with just 11 wins in his 28 games, but he has observed a squad built without a clear philosophy in mind.
