As he explained the need to find and develop future top, star players, such as Erling Haaland, he said recruitment would be the primary focus of his new Manchester United consultant role.
The 63-year-old is set to fail in his goal of leading the stuttering club to a place in the European Championship, but still hopes to leave a lasting legacy at Old United.
In the summer, he will take on a new role as a consultant and manager of Austria's national team.
The German has an impressive track record of developing teams, recently succeeding withRB Leipzig and sister clubRB Salzburg, and believes transfers are key to providing incoming boss Eric ten Hag that platform to succeed.
When asked what he will be advising on, Rangnick said recruitment was the most important part.
The most important point is that we bring in the best possible players and speak about them.
Even though we will not be playing in the playoffs, it is still important to identify those players and convince them to join this club.
This is the most important part. Again, also, with regard to top talented players for the academy, identifying those kind of players.
He would be one of those examples where I think the focus should be on to try and identify and find and then convince players who could be Manchester United players for the next couple of years.
The club should try to find future top star players and develop them, according to my personal opinion, if United can go back to buying players at the peak of their powers.
Just tell me five players that you mentioned, and I'll take it from you.
Haaland is a young player. He is either 21 or 22. I spoke about this player.
He has become one of the most expensive strikers in the world in the last two years.
He could be one of those examples where the focus should be on trying to find and convince players who could be Manchester United players for the next couple of years.
The support, stadium and training facilities of United still make them an attractive proposition even if they do not make the playoffs.
The view also comes with a dose of realism because the club is targeting the full package in new players.
With out-of-contract players Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic all set to leave, it is obvious that the team needs additions.
He said that he would like to play them but that it was also about getting the best possible result and performance.
Juan Mata played the last 15 minutes, Nema almost the whole game, so it isn't about saying goodbye to the supporters.
I would like to do that if it is possible, but it is also about getting the best result.

Fred was due to return to training on Friday, as was Edinson Cavani, who was out of contract in the summer.
Jadon Sancho might be out for the rest of the season with tonsillitis, according to the 63-year-old.
It could happen, when asked if Sancho was having his tonsils out.
He has an inflammation on his tonsils and has had some high temperatures so he will not be available for the next two games.
Hopefully, they can get hold of that inflammation and then hopefully if the tonsils have to be removed, this can happen at the end of the season.
