Former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo‘s scathing remarks about the German.
Austria’s national team manager was in charge of the Red Devils from December 2021 to May 2022 following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The 63-year-old had the unenviable task of getting a seemingly broken and divided dressing room on side. But the outspoken Rangnick, who wasn’t afraid to go public about where the club desperately needed to improve, couldn’t prevent the twenty-time league champions from having our worst season in Premier League history.
Rangnick, who played a key role in the emergence of Red Bull’s football clubs, took up the interim position at Old Trafford with the view of taking up a two-year consultancy role once his period in the dugout had come to an end.
But following the appointment of Erik ten Hag, the German didn’t take up the consultancy role and he’s now in charge of Austria.
Ralf Rangnick responds to Cristiano Ronaldo
In his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo lays into United’s decision to appoint Rangnick following the sacking of Solskjaer and questioned the German’s coaching credentials.
United’s number seven said: "If you’re not even a coach, how can you be boss of Manchester United?"
“After the club sacked Ole (Solskjaer), they brought in Ralf Rangnick, which nobody understands. This guy isn’t even a coach. A big club like Manchester United brings a sporting director who surprises not only me, but the whole world.”
Ahead of Austria’s friendly against Andorra tomorrow, Rangnick responded to Ronaldo’s comments but unlike United’s number seven, the former RB Leipzig sporting director and manager was a lot more diplomatic with his remarks.
“I’m the team boss of Austria’s national team, it’s not my job to judge that. (It’s) the job of Manchester United and the sports journalists,” Kronen Zeitung report Rangnick saying.
Ronaldo scored 12 goals in 22 appearances under Rangnick including two hat-tricks.

Do we fans ever ask ourselves why big players runs away from united, Dybala ignored united to join Roma, De Jong accept paycut to stay with Barcelona despite the lucrative deal from United, Paul Pogba ignored lucrative deal on table, all this was happening and no one ever ask a question, now Ronaldo opt to open up and we hate him this way. YOUR THE ONLY INCREDIBLE GOAT 🐐

I am not sure all this new signing know about this super stars players not coming to Manchester United. Many big players leaving, complaining and many refuse to come despite Manchester United are offering big money. There is something behind all this . To my own point of view I know CR7 disrespect the Coach by saying those words about him but others story lines about Manchester United clubs is true. There is no peace in that club. Imagine 20 years (2decades) nothing have changed in the club. Menh…… it good CR7 voice out all this because it show that he loves the clubs. He said what pundits couldn’t say. Maybe all this are the reasons why the Teams are not getting back to fit all this years. Poor environment, old technology, everything must be old. Few years time people will understand the reason why CR7 bring out this risk to voice out. Legend is always a Legend. He loves Manchester United Club.

Senseless United fans I doubt if you as a United fan wants utd to grow. Ronaldo said the truth how can you bring a sporting director to coach a great club like utd? ….. To me Ronaldo is doing and saying all this for better or the club since no one else has the courage to stand and talk ……. Someone stands up and says all wrong things going on in the club and it’s even to help the club instead you look at the coin from one side

you are so stupid ,Raff is a successful man so u think if Elon start attacking Ronaldo today because he has money than him it makes him a better person
Very stupid Ronaldo Simp from Real Madrid...United fans should know that these Real Madrid/Ronaldo fan boys only want Ronaldo’s success and care less about United and the progress the United. All they want is for Ronaldo to score goals so they can push the narrative that their Legend Ronaldo is better than Messi... which until tomorrow will never be true.
