Rangnick had said prior to United's trip to Arsenal: 'All of the others are still injured and Paul with the scan, it is very likely he will not play until the end of the season again.
'The doctor told me it will take four weeks minimum for him to recover and the last game is at the end of May. I don't think it's very likely he will play again.
The interim boss added: 'It's obvious there are quite a few players whose contracts are expiring, there might be a few others who are on loan might still want to be on loan or leave the club, it will be a significant change and rebuild necessary.
According to ESPN , club chiefs have decided to distance themselves from Rangnick's comments following the 4-0 loss to Liverpool.Speaking after the game, Rangnick insisted that Manchester United should sign 10 new players during the summer transfer window, saying: 'It is embarrassing, it is disappointing, maybe even humiliating. We have to accept they (Liverpool) are six years ahead of us.
'There will be a rebuild here. Six, seven, maybe 10 new players will come. (Liverpool) have better players than we have and this was really reflected by the result today.
'There will be a rebuild for sure, that was obvious in the first three or four weeks for me. For us it is extremely embarrassing as a coaching staff to sit here and have a press conference like this. We just have to admit they are better than us.'United are open to signing new players during the summer window but they have made it clear to Ten Hag that they are looking to evolve the current squad rather than overhauled.
That being said, Ten Hag will be given a huge budget to spend during the transfer window. He will also receive extra cash once United offload a host player.
Additionally, Ten Hag will have to make a decision about the United goalkeepers once he arrives at the club.
Dean Henderson has expressed his desire to leave while sources have revealed that the Dutch manager is worried about David de Gea's suitability for his system.
Therefore, with a mass exodus expected this summer, United are putting together a list of potential candidates they are interested in speaking witThey are eager to sign a striker and midfielder during the summer window. The Red Devils are thought to be interested in either Harry Kane or highly-rated Benfica striker Nunez.
However, Benfica are believed to be holding out for at least £110m for the striker - and the fee would represent a sizeable profit from the £20m they paid for him in 2020.
United are also said to be putting together a list of full-backs for the summer transfer window. Among those selected so far is Villarreal defender Torres.
