Revealed : Kanchelskis gives reasons why Manchester United made a big mistake in appointing Ragnicks as their coach

 Andrei Kanchelskis says that Manchester 

United should have left Michael Carrick 

in control of the club until the end of the

 season.

Carrick will take charge of Sunday's trip

 to Chelsea but relinquish his duties once 

they return as the club have named Ralf

 Rangnick as the club's new interim manager.

Rangnick has signed a six month deal 

with the Red Devils - who were eager to 

replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on a temporary

 basis before hiring a permanent successor

 in the summer.

Kanchelskis admits he is impressed by 

the work Rangnick has done at Lokomotiv 

Moscow as the club’s head of sports and 

development, but worries United are 

making a mistake.

He says United would benefit from some 

stability in the squad. Speaking to BettingExpert

 he said: ‘I know Rangnick has built a good

 reputation through his career – he has been

 an inspiration to the likes of [Jurgen] Klopp, 

[Thomas] Tuchel and {Julian] Nagelsmann 

with his pressing style of play.

‘The impressive reputation he has in Germany

 has seemingly led the United board 

to consider his appointment, in many 

ways if it transpires then it appears a 

logical appointment – a step for stability.

‘

Here in Russia, at Lokomotiv Moscow, 

he has not done a huge amount to change

 their current situation in his role as director 

of football – which I’d describe as a little 

complex to say the least.

‘They need to look at a different approach

 to have some success. We haven’t seen

 a huge impact in the six months he’s 

had but he’s not been here a long time 

in the role.

‘It’s hard to make such an impact 

in that time.

‘I did feel Carrick should have stayed 

in the role until the end of the season, 

but it seems like that is not to be and hopefully

 this is the start of a return to form for 

the team and an upcoming period of stability.’
