Ralf Rangnick Reveals the Position He Wants Man United to Finish in The Premier League

• Man United boss Ralf Rangnick contends his side is better off missing out on European football next season
• The United interim boss contends this would help incoming manager, Erik ten Hag, reorganise himself as he rebuilds the club
• The Red Devils are currently placed sixth on the standings with 54 points, six behind fourth-placed Arsenal
• United have already lost three of their last four EPL matches and will be looking to finish the season on a high in the remaining four matches

Man United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has sensationally claimed the club are better off finishing eighth in the Premier League this season.

United have endured a poor run of results in recent weeks which has seen them almost drop out of the top-four race.

With just a few matches left to end the season, Rangnick's charges have lost two crucial matches on the bounce, with their most recent outing ending in a 3-1 humiliating loss against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Rangnick admits he wants Man United to miss out on European spot

Speaking ahead of Man United's meeting with Chelsea at Old Trafford, Rangnick conceded an eighth-place finish would be ideal for his side.

According to the German tactician, missing out on a European football spot would help incoming permanent manager, Erik ten Hag, rebuild the club.

However, he was quick to clarify that his side will be desperate to record favourable results in the remaining matches of the 2021/22 season.

“Even if we win all four games it's not in our hands, what is in our hands is how we play, our level of performance. It's important for this season to finish on the best possible note," SunSport quoted Rangnick saying.

“With a new manager and new approach, this is still a massively interesting club and I look forward to helping Erik and everyone at the club to change the whole approach next season so Manchester United can be a top club," the United interim boss added.
