Champions League Win Can Land Ralf Rangnick Permanent Manchester United Job

Ralf Rangnick has been told he can be the Manchester United manager after this season ends, if he wins the Champions League in May.

United are currently shopping around for their next permanent manager, with Rangnick originally only brought in to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer until the end of the season.

However, the current interim boss is still amongst the potential candidates for the longer term, with the German third favourite according to the bookies.

"If Ralf wins the Champions League, he will remain there as manager.

"There is concern around him, yes, as he started really well and people thought about him staying, and now United are not playing so well.

"But it’s all about results for Rangnick. United can win the Champions League this season."

Whilst the Frenchman used Chelsea last season as an example, Carragher will know what it's like to be in a similar situation to United right now.

Liverpool's famous win against AC Milan in 2005 came as they finished fifth in the league, below rivals Everton, and United aren't currently guaranteed a place in the top four.

On their chances of finishing in the top four, Saha added, "If they don’t finish in the top four, it will be a massive blow.

“We’re talking like finishing in the top four is winning the title. I’m sorry, but this club should be winning games and aiming to win the title, not to be in the top four. That’s not normal.

“Finishing in the top four is an indication of things moving forward, but that’s not enough."

They could do with a player like Saha during his prime, when he moved to Old Trafford from Fulham in 2004.
