Pundit claims Premier League clubs ‘worried’ about Man United after source’s Rangnick update
Premier League clubs should be worried about Man United following their improvement after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
That’s according to former West Ham hitman Frank McAvennie, speaking exclusively to Football Insider following two positive results for the Red Devils.
Man United have beaten Villareal 2-0 and drawn 1-1 with Chelsea since Solskjaer was relieved of his duties on 21 November.
Michael Carrick took charge of both games and McAvennie claims there was immediately a marked improvement.
He insists the side will only improve once a “quality” manager is placed in charge.
“I don’t know what Ole was doing with them,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“But even in that game against Villarreal, the players looked drilled and more certain of their jobs. It was incredible.
“It had been three days or something and Man United looked like a completely different team.
“That’s not just from Carrick taking the team for three days of training or whatever it was.
“It shows how Ole being there was stagnating the team, how did they let that happen?
“We will see an improved Man United now, that should be a worry for the rest of the Premier League.
“A quality manager takes that team so much further.”
A Man United source has told Football Insider the club have reached an agreement with Ralf Rangnick, 63, to take over as interim manager.
The German will take on a consultancy role at the club when his contract as manager ends at the end of the season.
