Manchester United missed out on several top-class players recommended by former interim manager Ralf Rangnick. These players include Enzo Fernandez, Josko Gvardiol, Julian Alvarez, Luis Diaz, Erling Haaland, Konrad Laimer, Alvaro Morata, Christopher Nkunku, and Dusan Vlahovic. United’s failure to secure these players has contributed to their ongoing struggles and has allowed rivals like Manchester City and Liverpool to strengthen their squads significantly.
