“I didn’t say how much influence I had on those players but it’s pretty obvious a big club like Liverpool, one of the best clubs in Europe in the last couple of years, they have six former players [from] Schalke, Hoffenheim, Salzburg and Leipzig. It’s probably the highest number of players that nobody knew by the time we gave them debuts,” Rangnick said on Monday.
“This obviously has got to do with a similar idea of football. Jurgen and I have known each other for a long time, I know how he wants to play and having six players that used to play for former clubs of mine is not a coincidence.”
Asked if United can replicate Liverpool’s recruitment model, Rangnick added: “If this should be a role model, I don’t know. It’s definitely no coincidence what’s happened there in the last six years. In his first year, when he came during the season after eight or nine games and they finished eighth, and thereafter they just made the necessary adaptations.
“They brought in the right players, they got rid of the right players, they just built, they really built a squad and that’s why they are where they are.”
