Following Manchester United's defeat against Wolves, several critics have begun verbal attacks on the club's management as the team was dragged 22 points behind leaders, Manchester City.

The Glazers had to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but they had no clear plan afterwards. Ultimately they were impressed how Rangnick structured clubs behind the scenes not as a manager. Because they lacked any plan they had to make him interim manager as well.(alert-warning)
