Manchester United chiefs have dismissed caretaker manager Ralf Rangnick's claims the squad needs a massive overhaul.
ESPN says club chiefs have decided to distance themselves from Rangnick's comments following the 4-0 loss to Liverpool.
Speaking after the game, Rangnick insisted that Manchester United should sign 10 new players during the summer transfer window, saying: "It is embarrassing, it is disappointing, maybe even humiliating. We have to accept they (Liverpool) are six years ahead of us now.
"There will be a rebuild here. Six, seven, maybe 10 new players will come. (Liverpool) have better players than we have and this was really reflected by the result today.
"There will be a rebuild for sure, that was obvious in the first three or four weeks for me. For us it is extremely embarrassing as a coaching staff to sit here and have a press conference like this. We just have to admit they are better than us."
United are open to signing new players during the summer window but they have made it clear to incoming manager Erik Ten Hag that they are looking to evolve the current squad rather than overhaul it.
That being said, Ten Hag will be given a huge budget to spend during the transfer window. He will also receive extra cash once United offload a host players.
