Ralf Rangnick has revealed that he had identified all of Manchester United's main problems within just two weeks of his arrival at Old Trafford.
The German was installed as United's interim manager following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last December.
"As a coach or sports director, it's about being able to develop things and minimising the chance factor as much as possible," Rangnick told Der Standard.
"That you develop a team in a direction where you use game control and a certain type of football to create significantly more chances than you allow the opponent to have.
"It would not have taken Manchester United six months to do that.
"After just two weeks it was clear to me where the problems were and what would have to be done to fix them - but the question is whether you have the option of changing these things."
