The German's plan was long-term, so he had already thought about transfers and signings to strengthen the team in the 2021/2022 winter transfer window, in order to return Manchester United to the prominence they are used to. In an interview with the 'Blid' newspaper, the 'Teuton' tactician revealed that the list was never reviewed by the club's directors and that the names he proposed were immediately discarded.

"There was no such transfer file, and the club never wanted it," he said. He also revealed that among the names of the players he proposed to reinforce the team was Luis Diaz, who surprised many with his quick adaptation to the demanding English game.  "We were talking about players like Josko Gvardiol and Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig. Those were realistic names. We also talked about Alvaro Morata, Luis Diaz, Dusan Vlahovic and, as I said, Haaland when they were still on the pitch, but the club decided at that time to rebuild the team under the new coach," Rangnick said.

<strong>Luis Díaz preferred Liverpool over Manchester United</strong>

Diaz was also in Tottenham Hotspur's plans, but Liverpool beat them to the deal and ended up signing the Colombian, who has responded well to Jürgen Klopp, who was delighted with Diaz's talent from the outset. So, after ignoring Ralf Ragnick's roster, and after the end of his contract, when the season ended, Manchester United made Erik Ten Hag official as the team's DT, and then signed some stars such as Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Antony.
