Rangnick: 'Manchester United need more physical players'

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick says that the Red Devils need to sign physical players this summer.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has said that the Red Devils need more physical players if they are to be a successful team once again.

Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester City, coupled with the weekend's other results, has left Man United in seventh position in the Premier League table, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Rangnick will step aside from his role for a new manager this summer, and the German has revealed that he has already "told the board" what is required in the upcoming market to bridge the gap.

"I have told the board already what has to happen and whenever the new coach or manager is clear, it has to be congruent to how does the manager want to play and what kind of players we need for that,'' Rangnick told reporters.

"Then again, we come back to DNA, physicality, speed, tempo, what do we need? I think this team does not lack technical players, but I think we can do with more physicality.

"It takes the right decisions, knowing who you want to go too, manager, players, what kind of people do we need for that? Then, in every transfer window, to get the best possible players for that. This is possible, this is not rocket science, it has to be done, it needs to be done.

"If that happens, it does not necessarily mean that we need three-four years for that, maybe just two-three transfer windows, then the situation could be different."

Man United will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to relegation-threatened Everton on Saturday afternoon.
