If the 63-year-old takes over the national team, Ranknik could be confirmed in the role this week. After United’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, he was asked to take over Austria. “I would like to talk tonight about Man United and our game and the rest of the season. “I can definitely confirm that I will continue at the end of this season with my role as a consultant,” said Rangnick. “I would not say that I would be very involved, but we have agreed on the content and timing of my role as a consultant, although as I said I have not spoken to Erik [ten Hag, the incoming manager] Yet.

Victories in United’s last three games – against Brentford, Brighton and Crystal Palace – will mean they will equal their lowest points in the Premier League, a total of 64 points, in the 2013-14 season, under David Moyes. Asked to avoid a new low, Rangnick said: “Overall it was a difficult season. We could have several more points, I would not say easily, but realistically we should have more. We left the Champions League against Atletico Madrid and it was a huge blow not only in terms of confidence but also in terms of energy and that is why it is important to react [tonight] against one of the three best teams in England “. Rangnik is not sure if Ronaldo will stay at the club. “This is something we need to talk about between Eric and the board and me. “Cristiano has another one-year contract, it is also important to know what he wants, if he wants to stay.” Thomas Tuchel’s team missed a number of opportunities to beat United. “It was a bit disappointing,” said the Chelsea coach.
