Ralf Rangnick left Man United less than a week into Erik ten Hag's official reign and his signing strategy is poles apart from the club's.

Ralf Rangnick recommended Joško Gvardiol and Konrad Laimer to the Manchester United board before he left the club in the first week of manager Erik ten Hag's reign.

Former Red Bull sporting director Rangnick took over a United interim manager in December with a two-year consultancy role tagged on but departed following Ten Hag's arrival.

Rangnick regarded RB Leipzig and Croatia defender Gvardiol, 20, as a "must-buy" while Leipzig midfielder Laimer, 25, is generating interest from Bayern Munich.

Rangnick advised United to scout Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku, 24, but the France international signed a new contract with the Bundesliga side earlier in the summer.

Although United's chances of signing Erling Haaland were always remote, Rangnick urged them to try and negotiate a deal due to the Norwegian striker's release clause that became active this year.
