Ralf Rangnick told Manchester United to sign five players before he left Old Trafford but the club signed none of them, with two of the German’s recommendations joining Man City instead.
Rangnick proposed the Red Devils make a move for Erling Haaland, Christopher Nkunku, Konrad Laimer, Julian Alvarez and Josko Gvardiol, the latter of which he labelled as a ‘must-buy’.
But United moved for none of these targets, and have instead signed Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez so far this summer, with Adrien Rabiot expected to become Erik ten Hag’s fourth addition of the transfer window.
