Former Liverpool and England centre-back Jamie Carragher has pointed out that Ralf Rangnick's impeding arrival at Manchester United could have some potential pitfalls, referencing Jurgen Klopp's arrival at Liverpool in 2015.
Rangnick, 63, is set to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the Old Trafford managerial hot-seat on a six-month contract, with the German having been identified by United as the ideal contender to perform a short-term fix.
Rangnick, who is expected to move into a consultancy position ahead of next season, will bring a wealth of experience and new ideas to Old Trafford, in an attempt to turn the Reds' recent woes around and get them back on track.
One of Rangnick's biggest tasks will be trying to improve United's work out of possession. The Reds have been heavily criticised for their lack of desire and hunger without the ball in recent weeks, highlighting one of the first big problems that the German will have to try and address.
Although there is plenty of confidence surrounding the former RB Leipzig boss' imminent arrival, Carragher has warned that a sudden change in approach, in regards to United improving their pressing game, could result in several injury issues being encountered.
Carragher told Sky Sports : "Jurgen Klopp said something on Friday about the problem he had when he come to England.
"This is not the case of saying: 'Right, lads, I want you to go and sprint and close him down when he's got the ball'. This needs to be coached, trained, it's not something that's done in a week, because we have so many games [in England] it makes it difficult to train.
"If you remember when Jurgen Klopp came in, the amount of injuries they got pulling muscles... it's not a case of just doing this training, you've got to learn how to train like that, the physical output, to be able to take that onto the pitch.
"You're talking a team covering another 10-12km a game, that in itself may cause injuries and make it difficult for him to get Manchester United into the top-four."
