Manchester United had another difficult afternoon on Saturday as they were defeated 1-0 by Everton at Goodison Park, effectively ending their Champions League hopes in the Premier League.Ralf Rangnick is furious with Manchester United after they failed to follow his instructions.

 

Since taking over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the interim manager of Manchester United has had a poor run, with the club languishing in seventh place in the Premier League. With the loss to Everton on Saturday, they have only one win in their last five league games.

 

Erik ten Hag appears to be in line to take over before the summer, but the Dutchman will have a lot to deal with in a short period of time. The first order of business will be to attract the players he desire. However, United's scouting department may need to be overhauled, as Rangnick has already been a victim of their shortcomings. According to ESPN, the German coach was enraged by the team's January gaffes.

 

In January, the 63-year-old was looking to boost his team and requested information on RB Leipzig's Christopher Nkunku. However, he was taken aback when they informed him that the player was not being tracked.

 

Despite Rangnick's praise, he was dubbed "Germany's best young player." And there aren't many better performers in the Bundesliga this season than the Frenchman, who has been in excellent form since being moved up the pitch. While the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is used to playing in that position, Domenico Tedesco has deployed him in a more advanced role this season, and he has 27 goals in 43 games. It has prompted calls in France for him to be called up to the national team, with Didier Deschamps eager to add the 24-year-old to his already-impressive roster.

 

The player had been linked with the club in January, but nothing came of it. And it's largely down to their scouting department, which enraged Rangnick and is just one of several issues plaguing Old Trafford at the moment. While Ten Hag is the favorite to succeed him, Mauricio Pochettino is also a possibility. Declan Rice, Harry Kane, Aurelien Tochouameni, and Yves Bissouma are among the players linked with a move to Old Trafford. However, if United want to make significant changes to the squad, they will have to spend money.
