Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham Hotspur head coach, Harry Redknapp has hit out at Manchester United over their imminent appointment of Ralf Rangnick as interim manager.<\/p>\n

Rangnick is on the verge of becoming Man United\u2019s interim manager until the end of the 2021\/22 season.<\/p>\n

The German has already reached an agreement with the Premier League giants on a 6-month contract and will then take up a 2-year consultancy role.<\/p>\n

Rangnick\u2019s appointment will be officially confirmed in the next 24-48 hours.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the development, Redknapp, however, said Man United\u2019s move for Rangnick was \u2018stupid,\u2019 \u2018ridiculous\u2019 and confusing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact [Manchester] United have brought in Ralf Rangnick as an interim to replace the interim before they get the man they really want is ridiculous,\u201d Redknapp told The Sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never heard anything so stupid in my life, whichever way you look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIf they wanted Mauricio Pochettino, as we were led to believe, then there were ways and means to make it happen now.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if they had to wait for him, they should not have pushed [Michael] Michael aside and put someone above him for a few months. What does that say? We have got no faith in you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing is, he [Carrick] knows [Manchester] United inside out.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has got a great footballing brain \u2014 you don\u2019t play the game how he did unless you understand it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they needed to bring in anyone before a manager was appointed, then get a coach alongside him because they were a man down after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should have just gone for someone experienced, but let Michael run the show until then.\u201d<\/p>\n
