Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has confirmed that he will become "an advisor" for the 20-time English champions at the end of the season.

Rangnick has been in charge of the Red Devils since last December, leading the team to nine wins, nine draws and three defeats from his 21 matches at the helm.

The German will step aside for the arrival of a new manager this summer, with Ajax's Erik ten Hag widely expected to be named the club's next permanent head coach.

Rangnick's future at Old Trafford has largely been unclear, as there has not been official communication over a possible consultancy role, but the 63-year-old has revealed that he will still be employed by the club once his managerial deal expires.

"As you know, we have agreed upon a contract as an advisor and we will speak about that in the next couple of weeks I'm pretty sure - at the latest, the end of the season. But again, my focus is on tomorrow," Rangnick told reporters.

The German's role could allegedly only see him work six days a month, which would total 144 days if he remained at Old Trafford until 2024.
