Man Utd players unimpressed by Rangnick coaching staff | OneFootball

Manchester United's players have been left unimpressed by Ralf Rangnick's coaching staff, it has been claimed.

The Athletic reports players are underwhelmed with the training laid on by Rangnick's coaches Chris Armas and Ewan Sharp, believing them to be 'well below' the standard set by their predecessors Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.

Sessions in the lead-up to their embarrassing 4-0 defeat at Brighton last weekend apparently included no specific instructions on how Graham Potter's team would play and players have been critical of the coaching team for some time.

American coach Armas and Scotsman Sharp are perceived by several in the squad as below the standard of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's coaching team.

Rangnick and United wanted Carrick and McKenna to stay on following Solskjaer's sacking.

Former United midfielder Carrick has recently been linked with the Lincoln City job, before the League One club appointed Mark Kennedy, while McKenna is in charge at Ipswich Town.

Ahead of the Brighton match, training reportedly consisted of small-sided games at half-speed, set-piece drills and some running, but little tactical preparation on the opposition.

That proved highly costly as United's defence was repeatedly torn apart at the Amex Stadium and they got off lightly with just a 4-0 loss.
