LONDON —
Manchester United interim manager Ralf
Rangnick said Friday that his successor Erik ten Hag will need to perform
"open-heart surgery" on the English giants if they are to return to
their glory days.

United were thrashed 4–0 by Liverpool in midweek, a defeat
which left them in sixth place in the table, 23 points behind leaders and neighbors
Man City.
They also face an uphill struggle to reach the
Champions League next season.
"One of the very few good things, is that it's crystal
clear. You don't even need glasses to analyze and to see where the problems
are," said 63-year-old Rangnick.
"So, now it's only about how do we solve them? For me, it
is clear it's not enough to do some little, minor amendments, some little
issues here and there, some minor cosmetic things.
"No, in medicine you would see this is an operation at
the open heart, so there are more things to be changed than some little things
here and some minor things there, and this is the good thing."
Ajax manager Ten Hag will face a huge task next season to
revive United after a fifth consecutive trophy less campaign.
The 52-year-old Dutchman becomes the fifth permanent manager
at Old Trafford since
Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013 sent the 20-time
English champions into decline.
Ten Hag is on course to win his third league title with Ajax
and took the Dutch club to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019 for
the first time in 22 years.
