Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger insists Ralf Rangnick can be good for the club.

He was particularly impressed with the role Ralf performed at Red Bull Leipzig and thinks the 63-year-old can also have a galvanising effect in Manchester.

“Yes, I actually know him quite well as a coach from Stuttgart and Schalke but especially when he was working as a coach for Red Bull Leipzig," said Basti, who retired from football in 2019.

“He was doing some great things like how he works, how he sees the game, how he sees the club. He really can help Man United with creating a new era, with not only the game on the field but also for the whole club.

“That's what is needed at the moment and that's why I think he is the right person.

"The supporters have a better connection to those players who come out of the youth team. I think Ralf Rangnick has that eye for the youth players at United and that's important."
