Ralf Rangnick denies rumours suggesting that he has put together a dossier for incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, questioning the player's professionalism.

Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has categorically denied rumours suggesting that he has put together a dossier for incoming manager Erik ten Hag, questioning the player's professionalism.

Recent reports in the media have claimed that the German has passed on information to his successor, criticising a number of players in his first-team squad.

However, speaking to Sky Sports News in the build-up to United's 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Thursday, Rangnick said: "I never said anything to anybody criticising the attitude of the players as being unprofessional or selfish.

"This is not true, I will always protect my players. I have never realised any issues of them being unprofessional or selfish.

"Erik is the manager next season and if he would like to get my opinion or hear something about how I assess the current situation, I'm more than happy to speak with him."

Rangnick added: "I've been talking to the board quite regularly and obviously we were also exchanging our impressions of the current situation.

"For me it's important, together with Erik, together with the scouting department, we can build a new squad, a new group of players with quality and mentality that Erik, together with his coaching staff, will develop and lead this club into a range where supporters will want to see Manchester United."

The 63-year-old revealed earlier this month that 'significant changes' will be made at United in the summer, and the futures of several players including Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly and Anthony Martial have been questioned in recent months.

Rangnick is reportedly close to becoming the next manager of Austria, but he is set to remain at Old Trafford and take up his consultancy role for the next two seasons.
