A Europa League spot for next season is all Rangnick's team has left to play for after their final four games of the current regular season.

There was a high expectation that United would fight Manchester City for the Premier League title this season, and it has been a disaster.

In addition to announcing Erik ten Hag as the club's new permanent manager last week, Jim Lawlor and Marcel Bout were also revealed as leaving the club as head scouts.

Paul Mitchell, the manager of Monaco, has been linked with a move to Manchester United, where he has built a brilliant reputation for his work at Tottenham and Southampton.

According to The Athletic, Rangnick has nominated Mitchell to United's leadership for the position of Sporting Director. The 63-year-old will take up a consultant post at United at the end of the current season.

Darren Fletcher serves as United's Technical Director and John Murtough serves as the club's Footballing Director.

SN's conclusion...
Since he began working in this field, Mitchell has earned a solid reputation as one of the greatest. With Sadio Mane's arrival at Southampton being one of his most notable purchases, he is best recognized for making big returns on investment in the Premier League. When Rangnick was in charge of RB Salzburg, the Red Bull consortium also signed Mane.

Additionally, he helped bring Heung-Min Son to Tottenham, as well as Christopher Nkunku to RB Leipzig, a former club of Rangnick's, to the Bundesliga club.

At a Manchester United youth game earlier this year, Mitchell was seen with Rangnick, who has been linked with an imminent move to Bayern Munich.

Even though Manchester United's football operations have been restructured in recent years, the club's supporters are still waiting for an appointment to the position of Sporting Director.
