Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is poised to work 'just six days a month' when his Old Trafford consultancy role begins this summer.

That is according to a report by the Mail, who claim that the German, who replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on a deal until the end of the season back in November, will take a backseat from the next season. Although part of the agreement to lure him to United was to offer him a consultancy role, the club has not yet confirmed what the responsibilities within his position will be.

It is hoped by a large number of United supporters that he will have a say in the direction of the club's recruitment policy. He had success in the recruitment department during his time within the Red Bull franchise, particularly at RB Leipzig.

Rangnick has a track record for unearthing hidden gems for small transfer fees and then being able to sell them on in the future for a much higher resale value. Chelsea striker Timo Werner and Sadio Mane of Liverpool are amongst his biggest success stories.

However, as outlined above, United are yet to confirm specific details about Rangnick's upcoming role and what his day-to-day duties will be. He recently confirmed that he has not been consulted in the club's pursuit for his successor and next permanent manager.

"So far, we've not spoken about that," Rangnick told Sky Sports last month. "Not with John Murtough or anyone else, we've not spoken about this topic over the last weeks and months since I've been here.

"I know my opinion but so far we've not spoken about that so it's all I can tell you."

However, the experienced German has not been afraid to offer his opinions
