Derby boss Rooney: Rangnick inherits Man Utd squad with title winning ability

Derby boss Wayne Rooney insists Manchester United's squad is capable of winning trophies this season.

Rooney believes Ralf Rangnick will take the reins after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking.

“He's obviously very highly respected in the game, and I think he's got a tough job to come in to," Rooney said.

“I don't mean in terms of his ability, in terms of to come in for six months and stamp his way of playing and his pressing if you like, and how he likes to work.

“But he's very experienced, I'm sure he'll adapt to the players he's got and bring some stability back to the team, but also with the view of looking to try and win trophies.

“That Manchester United team are more than capable of winning trophies this season, and I think they've made the right appointment to give themselves the best chance."
