Ralf Rangnick can turn Manchester United into TITLE CHALLENGERS if he is hired permanently in the summer, claims Mikael Silvestre as the former defender hails the 'smart' appointment of interim boss

Ralf Rangnick has been tipped to be the man to turn Manchester United into a title challenger again by former defender Mikael Silvestre.

Rangnick has arrived at Old Trafford on a six-month deal to be the club's interim manager.

The German will then move into the boardroom as part of a consultancy role for two years.

But for Silvestre, who played for United between 1999 and 2008, should Rangnick be given the managerial reins permanently, he believes the German can transform this group into a contender for the Premier League title.
