Rangnick vindicated as Man Utd's need for open heart surgery becomes clear

Several years ago, the German had discussed the condition of the club's squad while he was leading the team.

Rangnick claimed that United needed open heart surgery, but left the club later that summer and went on to become Austria national team boss.

Speaking on TV, he said: “I probably made that statement when the season was almost over about two years ago. 

“It is probably only two or three weeks since Erik ten Hag was asked the same thing.

“Then he said that I was right in my analysis. I don’t know how many players they have signed since, but it looks like I was right.
