United's season goes from bad to worse under Ralf Rangnick as Brighton score four against a club at its nadir. Soccer Football - Premier League - Brighton ...

But more important than all of that, he arrives at a club that has no choice but to let him shape them rather than the vice versa. A slate cannot be both clean and yet smeared with dirt. He has been recruited directly from another club (the same is only true of David Moyes), has recently succeeded in Europe and a domestic league and is known for building clubs according to his vision of how football should be played. You can say that none of them worked. - 2012-13: 1st, 89 points - 2006-07: 1st, 89 points

Manchester United's players were told they weren't fit to wear the shirt after their 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion and Bruno ...

"Coming here was difficult in the summer, a new league, new country and new language. "I don't want to talk about the future, we have still one game this season and we have to win. "A little bit of everything [went wrong]. Quality. Mentality. They deserved to win and we deserve to be in the position we are in now. On the other hand, it was a dream night for Brighton, with their second goalscorer, Marc Cucurella, saying: "It is unbelievable. On the Red Devils' travelling fans chanting "you're not fit to wear the shirt" to their players: "I include myself in that. The result killed United's slim hopes of securing a top four finish, and means they're now at risk of being leapfrogged by sixth-place West Ham. "The result is what it is.

Manchester United are set for a busy summer of business as they rebuild after a challenging season, while Ralf Rangnick will hand the baton to incoming ...

"There is already at least something like a number of players that are really top players for this club but as I said we need all the other areas. Rangnick was also quizzed about whether United need a fresh injection of quality or a drastic shift in mindset to play the high-pressing brand of football he and Ten Hag favour. He also confirmed he will sit down with Ten Hag once the run-in concludes, telling Sky Sports : "We haven't spoken as yet but I can fully understand that both himself and myself that we should keep our focus on our current teams.

MANCHESTER UNITED look set to miss out on a top-four finish in the Premier League at the end of the season.

Graeme Souness went on to add that the vast majority of United's current squad are now playing for their immediate futures at Old Trafford and will need to impress over the coming weeks in order to ensure they will be staying at the club ahead of next season. Near enough to a man, [Cristiano] Ronaldo’s chipped in with goals and the goalkeeper maybe, other than that, you’re struggling to find anyone that you would say are anything like a Man United player. United are widely credited as having the most expensive squad in the whole of the Premier League but have spectacularly failed to live up to expectations with their dire on-pitch performances in recent months.

Cristiano Ronaldo was caught laughing as Manchester United's shambolic season reached a new low against Brighton. After Monday's convincing 3-0 win over ...

‘We waited for it to come together; there were a few moments when I was still shouting. We’ll have a nice evening.’ Away from home, our form has been excellent, home form not so good.

Shirts worn by the Manchester United players against Brighton will be auctioned to raise funds for children in crisis.

In over 20 years of collaboration, United for UNICEF has raised more than £5 million through activities such as gala dinners at Old Trafford. Earlier this week, the Reds committed a donation of £50,000 for the fund and pledged the net proceeds of the Manchester United Foundation Matchday Lottery at our last Premier League home game of the season, against Brentford. The auction is a continuation of the long-standing United for UNICEF partnership between the club and the global children's charity.

Erik ten Hag doesn't start work as Manchester United's new manager until next month, but he already has a chant dedicated to him.

Ten Hag, meanwhile, was slightly more guarded on the prospect of him bringing several of his United charges with him in the summer. And, even before his arrival, United supporters have come up with a chant, to the tune of Fat Les’s terrace favourite Vindaloo, that has gone down well with Ten Hag already. Ten Hag will inherit a fractured dressing room and an unbalanced squad that has missed out on Champions League qualification, as well as one that will finish the season with United’s lowest ever Premier League points tally.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been offered numerous returns to management since leaving Manchester United, but has rejected them all, including one approach from ...

Norwegian publication VG report that Solskjaer has received several approaches while he has been out of work. It seems very unlikely that he will be offered another chance of a Premier League return over the summer, but he is ready to consider new opportunities again now he is over the disappointing ending to his Manchester United reign. However, while he is unlikely to take charge at Turf Moor, Solskjaer is likely to return to a dugout soon, with the VG report stating that he is open to job offers this summer.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola told reporters he was offered the chance to sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United - on the eve of the Manchester ...

So he has to protect his players and has to know he cannot bring the players to a guy like me, like a dog. Although City couldn't afford to buy Pogba at the time, they can this summer. He scored twice to inspire United to a 3-2 win - recovering from 2-0 down - and deny City the chance to win the Premier League against their local rivals. I said no [to the offer]. We don’t have the money enough to buy Pogba because he is so expensive. City have had the chance to sign Pogba before, of course. Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are also thought to be interested in the World Cup winner.

The Red Devils are regarded as one of the biggest and best football clubs in the world but their ability to secure some of the game's most talented players ...

He was also interesting for the club in terms of selling shirts, and I wanted to have quick wingers. Hazard went on to win the Premier League twice, as well as the Europa League and the FA Cup while Kagawa lasted just two seasons at Old Trafford. "For the defence, I wanted Sergio Ramos and Mats Hummels, because ours wasn’t the strongest in building from the back. One of the more infamous failed signings in United's recent history, Henderson did not end up at Old Trafford due to a particularly bizarre reason. "Alex was watching Franck Ribery, the Marseille winger, but decided by half-time he was not good enough for United." Prior to his move to Stamford Bridge, Hazard helped inspire Lille to the Ligue 1 title and therefore attracted interest from plenty of clubs - including United. The story goes that United icon Sir Alex Ferguson decided that one of the finest wingers of his generation was not good enough after watching him for just 45 minutes. "'He rang me, and he said: ‘Rio, I would love to come to Man Utd. Can you speak to someone?’ So I spoke to the people at the club, [David] Moyes and Woodward. I mentioned it." He went on to reveal that his tip was swiftly brushed aside by those above him, stating how he was told: "‘We're already down the line with a couple of other signings. Another United legend in Rio Ferdinand claimed that the Spaniard phoned him trying to organise his own move to Manchester. "Before Thiago left Barcelona, he called me," the ex-England international told his Vibe with FIVE YouTube show. "I had him as a very young player at Valencia but you could just see exceptional talent," he said on his Sky Sports podcast. The technically gifted Portugal international is every inch the modern day full-back with remarkable on the ball ability and a tendency to contribute to attacks.

Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has reflected on our 4-0 defeat against Brighton in the Premier League and admitted the fans deserve an apology ...

It was very, very difficult to stop them in the first half at all and in the second half we took the risk to bring Edi [Cavani] on as a second striker and Fred and went to a 4-4-2. In hindsight it was maybe a little bit of a risk to play a 4-4-2 against them, but we had to try and change the energy. That's why I decided to go with more of a risk and play the 4-4-2 with Edi and Fred as a second six, but the two early goals at 3 and 4-0 after 60/65 minutes was a disaster for us. Until the West Ham game, or even until the Tottenham game we had very in-between and solid performances. To start with we can only apologise to our supporters, it was a terrible performance and a humiliating defeat. The game plan was completely different, we told the players to be as compact as we could possibly be but we couldn’t stop them."

JOSE MOURINHO highlighted the root of Manchester United's problems back in 2018.

"I see so-so but in the little two sessions of training we had [since Saturday] everything was normal, desire to work and play. Back in October of 2018, Jose Mourinho stuck the boot into his own players as a 3-1 Premier League defeat to West Ham left his Red Devils languishing down in 10th. But it isn't the first time in recent years that the club's players have been accused of not caring.

Speculation has linked Ronaldo with a swift exit just one year into his shock return to Old Trafford - but his old boss Fergie could have some part to play ...

Ronaldo has so far stayed quiet on his future plans with incoming new manager Erik ten Hag set to replace interim boss Ralf Rangnick and arrive at Old Trafford this summer. It's believed Ferguson would like Ronaldo to stay at least another season and the pair are understood to have chatted about how United's season has imploded since the striker arrived from Juventus last summer. The pair have always enjoyed a close relationship – and it's believed Ferguson is keen for Ronaldo to protect his legacy by staying at Old Trafford next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo was caught on camera smiling as United slumped to a 4-0 loss at Brighton, while Bruno Fernandes offered an explanation to angry ...

"I include myself in that," he said about chants from supporters that the team were not worthy of the United shirt. But it's okay us saying that, but they have to go out and do it. "The result is what it is," he said. However, at 37 years old it remains to be seen just how much of a role he has to play in Ten Hag's plans in the long-term. For manager Ralf Rangnick it was a day to forget, especially as the travelling fans turned on their own players in the second half. Read the story in full HERE.
