According to Rangnick, Manchester United has invested around £700-£750 million in new players since his time with the team. Despite this significant investment, the team's current position in the league table is worse than it was during his tenure.

Rangnick believes that even with some improvement, the season may not be considered a success unless Manchester United wins the Europa League. This would qualify them for the Champions League, but any other outcome would be considered a disappointment.

Rangnick also expressed sympathy for Ruben Amorim, the current manager, who took over mid-season. Rangnick noted that Amorim's playing style, which often features a three- or five-man defense, is not well-suited to Manchester United's team, which is built around a four-man defense.

This discrepancy in playing style is evident in Manchester United's Premier League performances, where they often struggle against teams they would normally beat. However, they have been able to turn things around in the Europa League, where they recently secured a crucial win against Lyon.
