I am the one who is most disappointed about that and frustrated about that.” He can tell the Dutchman who he should now trust. Rangnick has long been lauded as a coaching guru, but was also unable to impose any discernible structure on his players. “We just realised that it was difficult,” Rangnick has said about pressing. It was the first time anyone could remember these loyal fans turning on the players like this.

“He was good in training for the last two weeks which is why I decided to have him in the starting XI today.” “Just try to play as he trained,” the German coach said. “It’s a good experience [for the younger players on the bench], maybe a couple, one or two, may come onto the pitch during the game but we will try to win the game.
Edinson starts at Crystal Palace but our interim boss states it will be the Urguayan's final match as a Red.

A recap of the Man United transfer rumours, injury updates and more ahead of today's final game of the season.
He's Dutch. He's bald and he might be the answer to United's problems. It is public knowledge and the away supporters have ample time to choreograph their support for the new United manager. Most of the players are in an invidious position, though. Manchester United's trip to Selhurst Park might mark the start of a bright new beginning for the club, but it was a look at the past on Saturday afternoon that also provided a possible solution. United have struggled without Ronaldo this season and today's result will decide whether they play Europa League or Conference League football next season. Cristiano Ronaldo looks likely to miss the game.
Manchester United have endured a torrid season, with the club suffering under both Rangnick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ten Hag will be the new manager of the Red ...
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is planning to use an ‘uncomfortable’ cage at the club’s Carrington training complex, according to reports. “But you can only find what you need if you know what you are looking for and you need to know that in advance. “This is obviously different here because United are already in the Premier League and we are a club with high expectations with a big tradition of being successful. “The pitch is caged in and he wants it ready to go. Ten Hag wants United stars to feel ‘uncomfortable’ in the cage when they first start working in there, with an insider quoted as saying: “The new manager has already provided a number of technical requests and the staff are working hard to have it ready. And he also wants some of the half-sized pitches to be redrawn in order to replicate the ones he’s worked on at Ajax.
Manchester United's team for the final Premier League match of the season, at Crystal Palace, has been announced. Interim manager Ralf Rangnick takes charge ...
It means a first start for promising youngster Hannibal, while Edinson Cavani leads the line. There is plenty of youth on the bench, including Charlie Savage, who is part of a Premier League matchday squad for the first time, a few days after signing a new contract at the club. Manchester United's team for the final Premier League match of the season, at Crystal Palace, has been announced.
Ralf Rangnick has picked his Manchester United line-up v Crystal Palace for his last game in interim charge on the last day of the PL season.
The former Ajax manager is expected to be in attendance for today’s game and he will have the opportunity to watch his new players in the flesh. The Reds travel to Selhurst Park to face Patrick Vieira’s Eagles at Selhurst Park in what will be Rangnick’s final game in interim charge. Ralf Rangnick has named his last Manchester United XI, as the Red Devils take on Crystal Palace in the final Premier League game of the season.
With Erik ten Hag set to take the Manchester United reins, the club's loan players will be hoping to impress the Dutchman in pre-season.
The final player to feature in our Manchester United loanee XI of the season is the former Penarol man Pellistri. The 19-year-old has scored two goals in his last four games for the Ibrox side and although he played no part in the Europa League campaign, he’s made it to back-to-back finals with Manchester United and Rangers. Garner’s importance in Steve Cooper’s side has grown as the season has gone on and with four goals and ten assists to his name, the 21-year-old looks ready to pit his wits in the Premier League next season. Williams completes the defence in our Manchester United loanee XI of the season. Laird made 20 Championship appearances for Swansea City during the first half of the season before joining Bournemouth on loan for the remainder of the campaign in January. With the season reaching its finale, United in Focus have put together a Manchester United loanee XI of the season.
Ralf Rangnick has confirmed Edinson Cavani will leave Manchester United this month. Cavani joined United on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in ...
Cavani will leave United with a total of 59 appearances for the club. With Cristiano Ronaldo sidelined, United's attacking options have been depleted and Cavani has been named in United's starting line up to play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon. However, Cavani has struggled for fitness this term and his commitment has been questioned.
The three Manchester United players to blame for their struggles this year, include Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Harry Maguire.
Mistake after mistake has left Maguire in an unfavorable position with the club, and his status as team captain makes it all the easier to point the finger in his direction following a defeat. With 59 points on the season, Manchester United will finish in sixth place and is bound for the Europa League once again. For a club expected to be at the forefront of the Premier League title race each season, finishing outside of Champions League qualification is a disastrous failure on the part of the club.
Wilfried Zaha scored the only goal at Sellhurst Park as Crystal Palace won 1-0 against Manchester United, who will play in next season's Europa League after ...
Sent out early for the second half by Rangnick, powering down the touchline with the face of a man looking forward to all this being someone else’s problem, United stepped up their efforts a tad. Almost immediately, United’s midfield and defence offered little resistance as Zaha surged into the box and forced a save from David De Gea, who soon after had to do the same to stop Jeffrey Schlupp. It took a burst from Zaha to focus the home fans on the action, his pass narrowly failing to reach Odsonne Eduoard. Cristiano Ronaldo had not traveled to south London, and the given explanation of a recurring hip problem did little to quell discussion over where his future may lie. Manchester United’s worst season in 30 years of the Premier League ended with a typical whimper. After a season concluded with a goal difference of zero and some excruciatingly poor performances, Selhurst Park a case in point, playing any form of European football next season feels a like wholly undeserved bonus.
New manager Erik ten Hag was at Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park to watch Manchester United's final game of their worst season in Premier League history.
United will therefore be in the Europa League next season, while the Hammers will play Europa Conference League ball. There was no Cristiano Ronaldo for Ten Hag to watch, after the 37-year-old picked up a knock earlier in the week. The Dutchman will be in charge of United next season after signing a three-year contract to take over as manager.

And it means the Red Devils' torrid season has finished in appropriate fashion. And he was particularly unhappy with the display of Alex Telles, with the Dutchman seen shaking his head on numerous occasions. Ten Hag was in the stands for the match with Palace. And he was poor against Palace, with the Portugal international sloppy in possession and uninspired in attack. Zaha was the matchwinner for Palace, with the former United star scoring just before the interval to give his side the win. Ralf Rangnick’s time as Manchester United ended on a low note with Crystal Palace beating them at Selhurst Park. Wilfried Zaha scored the only goal of the game for the Eagles to give them all three points.
Erik ten Hag was in attendance for another Man United defeat as they ended their season by qualifying for the Europa League.
This was United's first defeat to Palace at Selhurst since 1991 and their first at the ground in 25 years. Juan Mata came on for a likely farewell cameo, as did Shola Shoretire and Alejandro Garnacho to usher in a new era. Fernandes erred far more egregiously for Zaha's goal, slicing the ball towards the danger zone from a throw and playing United into trouble, as he did at Vicarage Road six months ago. At half-time, Ten Hag exchanged a brief glance with the chief executive Richard Arnold as he made his way down the gangway to the directors' lounge. It was so chastening their supporters were more fixated on their phones, doubtless checking the scores at Anfield and the Etihad. The only outfield United player who performed in London was 13 miles away at Arsenal, where Ten Hag's compatriot Donny van de Beek scored on his last appearance on loan at Everton.
Ralf Rangnick reflects on a bittersweet afternoon where United lost on the day but qualified for the Europa League.
We intended to play like that, that was the game-plan, to put them under pressure in their half, but we didn’t do it with enough aggressiveness or energy.” Unfortunately, we didn’t have any pre-season, we couldn’t strengthen the squad, but those things happen and, therefore in hindsight, it was bittersweet or sweet-bitter rather because in the first couple of months, we did well. “It was a new experience for me [being interim manager]. Not necessarily coming in the middle of the season but knowing that it will be an interim role. We had a few opportunities in the second half, but it was not clinical enough, that’s why, in the end, we conceded another defeat away from home.” We tried, we had big opportunities in the first half to score ourselves, but we didn’t. Especially in the first half, we had too many unforced errors, bad giveaways, and that was exactly the way that we conceded the goal. Here's a summary of what the German had to say...

"We don't have to go over my football," said Ten Hag. "It's about the Man United football and about the Man United identity and philosophy. He added: "We are playing in the Theatre of Dreams and have to entertain the opponent. Manchester United will want to break into the top-four but there'll be time and patience because it's gone from 12 months ago preparing for a Europa League final and finishing second above Liverpool. If you think where we are today, I can't explain it. "It's been a desperate season and Erik Ten Hag has seen a glimpse probably of what the rest of us have seen all the way through. So to do it is necessary but football is one, two and three in this football club." I don't think any Manchester United fans wanted to watch a Manchester United game in these last few weeks. He added: "Of course. Also we are playing in the Theatre of Dreams. Asked if Manchester City and Liverpool's stranglehold on the Premier League title race under Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp could be disrupted, Ten Hag said: "In this moment, I admire them both. He already achieved a lot and also [made a] contribution to Man Utd. I am looking forward to working with him." He'd better go to a football club." I am convinced that this is not the case.
Erik has revealed when the first group of United players are due back at Carrington, following the summer break.
“We will start pre-season on 27 June and I will get a few of the squad, of the individual players.” “Not all the players will be coming in [on 27 June], because the ones who play internationals will have a longer break, because they play longer in this current season,” he added. The Australia leg of the tour concludes with a game versus Aston Villa in Perth on 23 July and the Premier League kicks off a fortnight later.

David de Gea has issued a brutal message to his Manchester United teammates after they ended the 2021/22 season with a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
The new manager [Erik ten Hag] was in the stands, so that's a good signal. "The people who don't want to stay, just go, and the people who really want to stay at the club, who want to fight for the club, let's have a good rest in the summer, prepare ourselves in the mind and in the body and be ready to fight again next season." "It's the same feeling.
'You will always see an era come to an end,' the new manager said after a season in which United finished in sixth place with a record low of 58 points.
I will speak with the players at the end of June and in the first week of July,” he said. “We [he and his staff] at every club think about: ‘What is in the spirit of the club?’ That is what we want to know, but also that is why they appoint me as manager. “I have a good feeling from the meetings, we have a plan, and now it’s about getting the plan done, to get it into a process, to cooperate, to be consistent in our plan and when we have good people around, with the right connection and the right commitment and we will achieve the success we want.” Asked about this Ten Hag said: “I have heard that but I will draw my own line. Ten Hag did concede that he will have to hit the ground running. He will also wait until the first of his players return on 27 June to meet them for the first time. We have a strategy, a concept, and we will work on that. First of all we will roll it out to the staff, then the players, and then you will see,” he said. I think if we improve, if we can work with them, we can get more out of them than this season,” he said. “First of all, we want to make the fans proud. If we can’t play fantastic football, we still have to win.” Despite the low finish Ten Hag suggested the group he takes charge of remains one that can challenge.
Earlier this season, Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly "blocked" Manchester United from hiring a certain manager.

Click through the gallery below to see how City celebrated winning the Premier League on Sunday: While it came to light that Ronaldo was believed to be against Conte being brought in at the Red Devils, Manchester Evening News has now reported that the Portugal captain went as far as "blocking" his arrival by making his stance on the ex-Inter Milan manager clear.

Playing time was another frustration among the squad. While this has been publicised on previous occasions, more detail has emerged. Erik ten Hag has the challenge of turning around a 'toxic' dressing room culture as one of his key jobs at Manchester United.
Ralf Rangnick recommended Man United sign 10 new players in the summer transfer window and Erik ten Hag has started work as the club's new manager.
I wasn’t a judge, I take this information to the new season." "I think if we improve, if we can work with them, I think we can get out more out of them than this season. "No, I don’t speak with the players now, they need a break to reflect.

Failure across the board and new lows in terms of goals conceded, losing sequences and points tally. How did Man United get like this?
Rangnick also set alarm bells ringing within the club when he was warned that managing United would lead to unprecedented scrutiny of his results and decision-making in the media and among supporters. There was also a suspicion within the club that many of the leaks coming from the dressing room were from three specific camps, with one in particular identified as being a persistent problem. There's a real mood now that the guy in charge has an idea of what he wants to do and how he will execute it. Harry Maguire had a bad night at Anfield, but Rangnick made the easy decision to substitute Jones at half-time because he didn't have the bottle to take Maguire off." He was overlooked and soon hired by Tottenham, who ended the season qualifying for the Champions League, 13 points ahead of United in the table. The 24-year-old ended the season with five goals in 32 appearances and has lost his England place, though he alone was not responsible for United's poor form. So in came Rangnick while United embarked on a "thorough" process to identify a long-term appointment. The England forward, who delayed surgery on an injured shoulder until August (a month after playing in the Euro 2020 final), did not return to first-team action until mid-October and went on to endure his worst season for the club. But while the team were heading for a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League and a spot in next season's Europa League, one player's representative was more concerned with how often Ronaldo was used to promote the club's sponsors. It was a season that saw the team led by three managers -- Solskjaer, Michael Carrick and Rangnick -- and one in which humiliation lurked around every corner. Sources have told ESPN that the rot set in under Solskjaer, who was regarded as indecisive, weak and lacking tactical acumen. When Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United last August, 12 years after leaving for Real Madrid, the team were unbeaten in the Premier League and harbouring hopes of challenging for the title.
Manchester United have announced that Steve McClaren and Mitchell van der Gaag have been named assistant coaches to new manager Erik ten Hag.
But in the end, the intention is to play fantastic football. “We want to entertain. “First of all, we want to make the fans proud.
