Manchester United's forward planning has again been criticised with Ralf Rangnick potentially facing doubters next season.
The German has come in and replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on an interim basis until the end of the season.
A new permanent boss is expected to come in this summer with Rangnick taking up a consultancy role - something he has performed several times in his career.
However Micah Richards has highlighted a flaw in United's plan, with results and performances still not up to standard.
The pundit believes Rangnick's credibility will have been dented by his spell in the dugout, which will hamper his ability to make and influence decisions going forward.
Who should be Man Utd's next manager? Have your say in the comments!
Richards wrote in the Daily Mail : "When I look at United, I see too much disorganisation. Look at Rangnick. Everyone knew his biggest asset was organising things behind the scenes.
"If United had brought him into a consultancy role, after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left, it would have looked like they had a plan.
"But now Rangnick has had a spell as a manager, during which results have not been as good as they should be.
"So if he goes behind the scenes at the end of the year, rightly or wrongly people will be questioning his credentials to oversee the improvements United need."
Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag are among those tipped to take over at Old Trafford.
They could yet arrive at a team without Champions League football with the Red Devils in danger of missing out on the top four.
Both men are currently in roles at PSG and Ajax respectively, although Pochettino's marriage in Paris appears far from a happy one.
There are rumours of a departure from the Parc des Princes this summer which would free him up to take the job in Manchester.
However Le Parisien reported last month that, despite having plenty of admirers within Old Trafford, the Argentine would not be Rangnick's pick to replace him.
The German has made his plans for the club clear, having signed a deal that will keep him involved in some capacity until 2024.
He said: "Well, in the ideal world, we'll not only be in the top four regularly but also playing for titles.
"This is also something that’s in the DNA of the club, it’s about winning titles, winning the league, winning cups, being as successful as we can in the Champions League.
"In the new year, we’re still in the Champions League and we want to hopefully get further in that competition. In two-and-a-half years, I think the DNA of the club will be clear and as successful as we can be."
