"Manchester United Hierarchy Scared of Rangnick" says Ex-Man United Defender

Ex-Manchester United defender, Paul Parker has stated recently though, that the club's hierarchy and the players were afraid of the ex-Schalke boss (via BonusCodeBets).

"Could he (Rangnick) have stayed on as a technical director? I don't think so. Because again I use the word hierarchy. I think they were scared of him" said Parker when asked whether Man Utd missed out by not giving him the role of a technical director. He definitely was open to both sides and as much as everyone would say the football side was poor, Manchester United never improved. In a certain way, they capitulated entirely cause certain players couldn’t deal with somebody who was upfront and honest. But on the other side of it, he let them know about certain individuals and about the team and maybe in a certain way about the club, what they were doing."

When questioned about the decision of hiring Rangnick as an interim manager, Parker said:

"I just think that United made the wrong decision from the start. It was the wrong decision. There’s no way around that. But as I said earlier, he kind of opened up the club. You know, he suddenly is coming there and he’s opened the door to the football club to the people who were outside trying to look in.”
