Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick casts doubt over his potential consultancy role at the club at the end of the season.

Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has cast doubt over his potential consultancy role at the club at the end of the season, following the appointment of Erik ten Hag as the new permanent manager.

Ten Hag was confirmed as United's new boss from next season on Thursday morning, with the current Ajax manager signing a three-year deal, with the option of a fourth year.

When Rangnick was named interim boss following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last year, it was agreed that the 63-year-old would move up into a consultancy role above the new permanent manager for a two-year period.

However, the former RB Leipzig boss has suggested that that transition may not take place at the end of the season following the confirmation of Ten Hag's appointment.

Speaking to the written media on Friday, Rangnick said: "We have an agreement on that consultancy role, but in the end, it's not a question of what has been written on paper or what has been agreed upon, it's about what will really happen in everyday life and, and in everyday business.

"It's also important how Erik ten Hag sees that. Does he like to speak with somebody like myself? How close does he want to work together? And those are the things we haven't spoken about yet.

"So for me, I'm not worried about that at all. It's not a question of having agreed upon a contract or whatever for the next two years - I'm 64 very soon so for me, it's about what will really happen and how much does Ten Hag and the board of Manchester United really want to know my opinion and have my experience."

Meanwhile, Rangnick will take charge of the Red Devils when they head to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, as they look to bounce back from Tuesday's heavy 4-0 defeat to rivals Liverpool.
