Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes doesn't believe Ralf Rangnick had much chance of succeeding as the club's interim manager.

Rangnick replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a caretaker role in December 2021.

"Ralf came with his idea of playing with intensity and pressing and how he was used to playing in Germany," Fernandes told The Athletic.

"But it did not quite work out with us because there was an atmosphere between everyone where the confidence was low and everything was really down. It is really difficult to come off when you are in that run. It is nothing to do with Ralf. He tried his best.

"He is a good manager with good ideas but it did not fit with everyone.

"This is because the team had been built with Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) and his idea, and then a new manager comes in with (his own idea).

"That probably could be the difference at the club because every manager who has been here has had different ideas, so they bring different players in."
