Former Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has been rushed to hospital for emergency surgery – after a first op on the 67-year-old went wrong.
The German spent six months as Red Devils interim manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismissal in November 2021.

Rangnick has since worked as Austria’s national coach, and aims to lead them to the 2026 World Cup finals.
Wear and tear to his ankle caused him to undergo a routine operation last month.
Former Stuttgart, Schalke and RB Leipzig boss Rangnick returned to his home near Salzburg soon afterwards.
But the wound caused by the surgery became seriously inflamed, forcing the veteran coach to go back under the knife.
Rangnick is still in hospital, but hopes to return home on Friday.
Austrian FA spokesman Thomas Trukesitz insisted: “Ralf Rangnick is doing well.
“Nobody needs to have any concerns about his health.”
Rangnick’s first duties when he returns to fitness will be to prepare the Austria side for World Cup qualifiers against Cyprus and Bosnia & Herzegovina in early September.
