Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick will be backed by the Glazers in January, according to reports, with the interim coach facing disharmony in his squad amid a turbulent campaign.
The German boss has not managed to quell the feeling of unease at Old Trafford this season after he suffered his first defeat in charge - a 1-0 home loss to Wolves on Monday night, with his tactics and decsion-making coming into question.
But despite spending around £126million on three high profile signings last summer in Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo, United's squad still looks short on quality in a handful of areas, and the Times report that Rangnick will be given transfer funds to spend this month.
