Manchester United interim coach Ralf Rangnick said his team, which lost 4-0 at Anfield on Tuesday, is 6 years behind Liverpool, and needs a major rebuild if it wants to compete for titles again.
United lost 5-0 to Liverpool at Old Trafford in October, before Liverpool beat them again in the second leg on Tuesday to return Jurgen Klopp's team to the top of the Premier League.
Rangnick admitted, "It's embarrassing, disappointing, and maybe even humiliating. We have to accept that they've been outperforming us for 6 years now. When Jurgen Klopp came (to take over) the situation at the club changed and rose to a new level, not only at the team level, but it extended to the club. And the city, this is what should happen to us in the next transfers.”
The German coach said that Liverpool improved in each transfer period after contracting with Klopp in 2015, and this has paid off in the squad, which now includes "25 Formula 1 cars".
It is not expected that Rangnick will remain coach of United next season, as it is likely that the Dutch coach of Ajax Amsterdam, Eric Ten Hag, will take over.
With the expiration of the contracts of many players, Rangnick, who also occupies the position of a consultant in the club, said that the club will witness a large transfer of money to and from it.
He added, "In my opinion, it is clear that there will be 10 new players .. I do not know specifically .. And before signing with these players, you have to know the way of playing that you want to apply, and the type of football that the new coach wants to introduce in order to bring in the right player for this method. in every centre.
"There will be a rebuilding for sure," said the former RB Leipzig coach.
