Manchester United snubbed my plea to bring in a new striker on January transfer deadline day, Ralf Rangnick has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the answer he got at the time was no because the board felt there was no player in the transfer market that could help the team.
Rangnick added that he still believes the club should have tried 48 hours before the end of the January window, but they thought otherwise.
His words, “The answer at the time was no, there is no player on the market that can really help us,”
“I still believe we should have tried in those 48 hours,”
“The board sees it the same way. They agreed. But they also spoke to the scouting department at the same time as me. The answer was no.”
“I don’t know. But as I said, maybe we should have at least internally discussed it.”
“Maybe I should have pushed even more,”
“It would have been short notice but 48 hours is 48 hours. It might have been at least worth to try and internally discuss it. It might be necessary and important. We didn’t. It was not done.”
