Manchester United manager Ralph Rangnick has sent a message to Donny van de Beek, who is on loan at Everton. Before opening up about the rumors Eric Ten Hag is about to become the new manager of the Red Devils.
In a pre-match interview with Manchester United’s trip to Goodison Park to face Everton today (Saturday 9 April 2022), Ralph Rangnick has lauded Donny van der. Beck but did not guarantee his Dutch compatriot a future at Old Trafford, with Rangnick saying he spoke to the team’s board and ‘They know what I think needs to happen in the summer’ but insist that the final decision on the player will be made by his successor. That would put the futures of both frozen and loaned Manchester United players such as van de Beek into uncertainty as they enter the final few months of the season.
There was much hope for van de Beek when he joined Ajax for £40m in 2020, but the Netherlands international failed to make an impact at Old Trafford. Guard, 24, was on loan at Everton in January. But he cannot change the fate of Frank Lampard’s team, who are now struggling to escape relegation. When asked if Van de Beek had a future at Manchester United, Rangnick said:
“Why not? But it depends on the new manager and the way he plays. He told me in a few conversations that he wants to play regularly in order to be in the Netherlands’ World Cup squad. He started planning a new team. I won’t be a manager next season.” “It also depends on how you want to play. Do you want to play more ball possession or counter-pressing, ball-pressing type? It depends on that and the types of players coming in. “Teams have to rebuild in the summer, that’s clear, but again, these questions don’t make sense to talk about right now.”
Rangnick, who replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November, added: “I like Donny as a player and there is a lot of competition in his position from other players. That’s why he rarely has the opportunity to play. That’s why he asked me and we gave him a chance to go elsewhere. Tomorrow he won’t be able to play anymore. But in the next seven or eight games they have. He hopes to help them survive in the league and get as many playing opportunities as possible.”
Rangnick also declined to comment on news that Ten Hag will be appointed as Manchester United’s next manager, but he has provided some updates on the situation. by revealing that A number of ‘top managers and coaches’, including Ten Hag, are in talks with the club. Although he did not say This Dutch coach is about to get this job.
“This is a press conference for tomorrow’s game. And I don’t mean to talk about the new manager here.” Rangnick told reporters. “I know that every manager at the club is a top manager and coach, and if it includes Erik ten Hag, it’s true for him too.” “That’s all I can say at this stage, for me it’s about preparing the team for tomorrow’s game and hopefully getting the three points.”
When asked about his role in hiring new bosses, Rangnick, who is set to serve as a consultant at the end of the season, added: “I know what coaches they have spoken with until now. And that’s why I can say that all the coaches they talk to are top coaches.”
The German coach confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo missed last weekend’s draw with Leicester City. There is a chance to return in this game. But he will be without four injured players: Luke Shaw, Edinson Cavani, Rafael Varane and Scott McTominay.
