Ralf Rangnick has sensationally told the Manchester United hierarchy to replace not one but THREE first-team players.
Interim boss Rangnick will move into a consultancy role within the club at the end of the season.
Talent appraisal and identification will be key aspects of his role and ahead of officially beginning his new position at Old Trafford, the German delivered a presentation to the board this month.
According to 90min, he provided an initial assessment of the current squad - with defence being the main area of concern.
The 63-year-old reportedly told the likes of Richard Arnold, the new CEO, that Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are NOT good enough to be play for Man United.
Maguire, Shaw and Wan-Bissaka were regulars under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but following his sacking - the two full-backs have failed to nail down their spot.
As for Maguire, he's struggled for form this season and been subjected to brutal criticism for his displays at the back.
Naturally, Rangnick wants reinforcements with the report claiming that he's recommended Wolves defender Max Kilman.
He'll be among many defensive transfer targets ahead of the summer window.
The Red Devils have conceded 29 goals in the league this season, with West Ham United the only team to have let in more in the top eight.
That's despite the summer addition of Raphael Varane. Unfortunately for Rangnick and the Man United faithful, the Frenchman has only played 10 league games this season having suffered with injuries.
Man United could have a major defensive summer haul on their hands with Rangnick's revelation.
