Ralf Rangnick to use blueprint suggested at Manchester United to fix issues at Bayern Munich | OneFootball

The managerial merry-go-round is set to be in full swing this summer with some of Europe’s biggest clubs making changes at the top.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich are officially looking for a new head coach and huge question marks remain over Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United.

In a twist to the tale, former United interim coach Ralf Rangnick is a strong favourite to take over at Bayern with the outgoing Thomas Tuchel being touted as Ten Hag’s potential successor.

Rangnick served as the interim manager at Old Trafford for the second half of the 2021/22 season after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Whilst the German couldn’t find the formula on the pitch, he was due to form part of the backroom staff to help build the club from the inside out at the end of that season.

However, the role failed to materialise as Ten Hag chose to bring his own staff in while Rangnick was appointed as the Austrian national team manager, but not before he delivered some home truths.

“Open heart surgery” was required according to the 65-year-old and his plan was to bring in new players who could play a more dominant style.

Two of the names mentioned were Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Bayer Leverkusen right back, Jeremie Frimpong.

Now, as reported by HITC, the experienced coach is hoping to sign the very same players, should he take up the Bayern offer.

De Jong, in particular, looked set for a spell at United after Ten Hag made him a clear priority target in his first summer at the club. Frimpong has remained a target for over two seasons now and he remains a target ahead of the summer window.

Rangnick’s talent for building squads is there for all to see and United fans might well see the vision for their side come to life in Munich.

Meanwhile, United are entering a new era at Old Trafford with INEOS taking control of the sporting structure at the club.

The new minority owners will have ideas of their own with United supporters desperately hoping for an upturn in fortunes, particularly in the league.

Ten Hag’s troops have suffered a wretched campaign, sitting in sixth position in the Premier League and quite frankly, lucky to be that high in a season littered with below-par performances.

The run to the FA Cup final has granted Ten Hag a stay of execution but expect changes aplenty at Old Trafford this coming summer.
