'A contract for six months to coach the team, a contract for two years to coach the club,' tweeted Gary Neville, with a love heart, when Ralf Rangnick took over as Manchester United's interim manager last November.
But, 13 games in, is he the right man to coach this United team and reshape United as a club? Remarkably, it has taken only 10 Premier League matches for someone to call for Rangnick to be sacked.
Paul Merson, Neville's fellow Sky Sports pundit, made the claim over the weekend that Rangnick should be axed and added that the German should not even move to the consultancy role at the end of the season as planned.
