Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is excited to work with his squad that has a great “balance of youth and experience”, including one player he has previously tried to sign.
During our exclusive interview with the German at Old Trafford, the 63-year-old innovator speaks enthusiastically about our group of players and his plans for the remainder of the season.
When pressed on his comments in Monday’s club statement praising the quality of our squad, Rangnick responds by revealing there is one player he tried to recruit whilst with a former club.
“I am very excited”, Ralf tells club reporters Stewart Gardner with a smile.
“I mean they have so many top, talented young players–Jadon Sancho I know from the Bundesliga.
“As a matter of fact, I met him when he was 17, in London. At the time, we were trying to convince him to come to Leipzig and he decided a couple of months later to come to [Borussia] Dortmund, which was not a wrong step from his perspective.
“Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, there are so many top, talented young players in the squad, and on top of that, the experienced top players. To work with those kind of players and to help them get better, yeah, I’m very much looking forward to that.”
Jadon Sancho joined Borussia Dortmund on transfer deadline day in August 2017, when he left Manchester City’s, at a time when he was yet to make his first-team appearance.
Now that Ralf have him (Sancho) in his team, it will be a perfect Atmosphere for the German experienced coach.
