Man United overhaul on the cards after ‘big’ Rangnick reveal – pundit
Ralf Rangnick will have to make “ruthless decisions” if he wants to play “his brand of football” at Man United, according to Kevin Campbell.
The former Premier League striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, suggested certain players who started against Wolves last night are incapable of playing “high-intensity football”.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the loss, Rangnick said his side “did not press at all” and confessed “it’s a big problem.”
When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of the defeat, Campbell said: “The team is full of quality, make no mistake about that.
“But to play high intensity football you need the right players. Not all players can play that style. You need a lot of energy to be pressing like that for 90 minutes.
“It is mental energy as well as physical energy. You have got to be on the front foot all of the time.
“United were poor yesterday in all departments. Wolves made them look ordinary and they deserved the win.
“Rangnick has got his work cut out. He needs to find the right balance. If he wants to play his brand of football ruthless decisions will be made.”
