RALF RANGNICK has been slammed for ‘making up systems’ by pundit Jamie Redknapp.
The German, 63, suffered his first defeat as Manchester United interim manager at the hands of Wolves on Sunday.
Rangnick has so far deployed his ‘famed’ 4-2-2-2 formation with the Red Devils.
But Redknapp thinks the former RB Leipzig boss is just making it up as he goes along.
Appearing on Sky Sports, he said: “We speak about managers coming into the game and he came in with this famed 4-2-2-2 system – it doesn’t work.
“When you come here, you have to have the right players, it doesn’t matter what system you play.
“Then he went to a three at the back, today he played 4-4-2 and at the end of it, I think he’s making up systems.
“There was no real identity of how they were trying to play.”

Redknapp, 48, then added: “The Watford performance was a real low for Manchester United, but I’m sure the Manchester United fans will have looked today and thought, ‘At least we’ll look to be exciting going forward’, but there was nothing today.
“They never had control of the game.
“When you watch Manchester City play and all the best teams, they have control in the midfield. United never had any control of that midfield today.
“Never once have they played passes to each other, they never had an ability to just take the sting out of the game, to get some confidence.”
Former Liverpool star Redknapp then stressed the importance of Man United emulating the Reds.
He continued: “It can’t get any worse after that performance. It doesn’t take a day or two days to make that change. These are unprecedented times.
“If he’s your long term project you need to give him time but you have to an idea of what you’re doing.
“At Liverpool it took 30 years until you found Jurgen Klopp. Man United need to find their Klopp. I see too many players playing within themselves.
“You can’t think you’ve made it in this game. The reason Man City are the best team is because they work harder than everyone else.
“Right now United are putting in these performances too often.”
