TEDDY SHERINGHAM has blasted Manchester United’s ‘ABSURD’ decision to hire Ralf Rangnick.
And the iconic Treble winner believes the club’s next manager faces a tough ask in turning things around.
Rangnick has struggled to impress since replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as interim boss in November.
United are sixth in the Premier League table and crashed out of the FA Cup last week to Championship side Middlesbrough.
The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford are struggling for form.
And United’s latest slip-up saw them held to a draw by lowly Burnley on Tuesday.
Sheringham, who scored 46 goals in 153 games for United, believes his old side made the wrong call in hiring Rangnick as an interim.
And Red Devils fans should brace themselves for more turbulence as the next boss will need to start from scratch this summer, with Mauricio Pochettino in the mix.

Sheringham told Genting Casino: “In the main, when we’re talking about Man United, I think the real problem is goes back to Rangnick coming in, another interim manager, it’s just absurd for me.
“United had an interim manager in Michael Carrick, they let him go and appointed another, it just brings uncertainty to a group of footballers that should be playing at their highest level.
“It’s another season lost when you have that sort of vibe, you only need to chop and change and rotate the team a few times and you’ve got a lot of unhappy players.
“If he leaves at the end of the season, and then someone completely different, like Mauricio Pochettino, comes in, it’s a whole new vibe of how you want to play football.
“This season’s going to be lost. It will be wasted and you have to start again. If the next manager brings in his own staff, his own players – it’s just a whole new revolution again.

“It’s such an absurd situation I see at Man United, and that’s why you get uncertainty, that’s why you get the differences of performances in the Man United team at the moment.
“Unless the United board have got something up their sleeve that is defined, with a manager coming in with the whole summer to go and do what he’s got to do, then I’ll understand, I’ll hold my hands up and say, ‘Do you know what? It’s a great plan, perfect’.
“But at the moment, from the outside looking in, you just think, ‘What is going on? What does the next six months hold for Manchester United, where will they go?’”
