Rangnick was appointed to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was sacked in late November last year after a terrible start to the season, which saw them lose 5-0 to Liverpool and 4-1 to Watford, according to the Guardian.
Under the German tactician, the Red Devils won only 38 per cent of their matches, the worst win percentage in the Premier League era and the worst in 50 years for the club, according to BBC.

Ronaldo rips into Rangnick
In the interview, Ronaldo revealed he was baffled that the club decided to hire the former RB Leipzig coach, according to the Daily Mail.
"After Ole, they bring in sport directive Ralf Rangnick, which is something nobody understands. This guy is not even a coach. A big club like Manchester United bringing in a sport directive surprised not only me but all the world. 'If you’re not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I’d never even heard of him."
The current manager of the Austrian national team has coached the likes of Schalke 04, Hoffenheim and Leipzig in the Bundesliga and is known for developing several teams.
Rangnick was supposed to take up a consultancy role with the club, something which never materialised. Reports indicate that he held talks with Ronaldo about employing tactics to help Ronaldo get some form.
