Rangnick 'couldn't possibly turn down' Man Utd role
New Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has already identified the area he wants to bolster most in the transfer market. That position group is defence, with the Red Devils currently the unwanted owners of the worst defensive record in the top seven of the Premier League.

Jules Kounde
The man Chelsea who made their main target in the summer has now emerged as a potential option for United.
Kounde has helped Sevilla to keep seven clean sheets so far this season, the joint-best defensive record in La Liga.
The Frenchman is ready to take the step up to the next level and a t just 23-years-old would appear to be the perfect Rangnick signing.
Sven Botman
Botman has already been a key player in one title-winning campaign, having played 37 games as Lille ended as the surprising champions of Ligue 1 last season.

His performances earned him a move to Juve, but his time in Serie A has been more of a struggle, though his potential to be the next great centre-back is obvious.
Josko Gvardiol
Rangnick will likely look to his former clubs Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig when it comes to potential targets.
And one man who could be high up the shopping list is Josko Gvardiol, who is currently a regular starter under Jesse Marsch at Leipzig.
The 29-year-old is the third-most expensive Croatian of all time and also has the ability to play at left-back, which has been another problem position for United this season.
