The manager of Manchester United, Ralf Rangnick, proposed to abolish the League Cup in England.
In England, a large number of matches have been canceled due to the coronavirus, Liverpool and Leeds, that is, Wolverhampton and Watford will not be playing on Boxing Day, which creates additional problems when creating the competition calendar.
Also, at the beginning of the year, the teams that compete in the Premier League start playing in the FA Cup.
"You know better than I do how long the tradition of playing on Boxing Day is and I think we should stick to it and respect the tradition. I am very much looking forward to it, this is my first time to play in those days in my coaching career. But there are other things that had to be discussed a long time ago," said Rangnik.
Rangnik explained that the League Cup should be abolished.
"England is the only one of the major leagues in Europe to retain two cup competitions. Even France withdrew from the second cup competition, only we play it. It is something that should be discussed. League cups are reserved for clubs from lower leagues, which helps them financially. But such a tight calendar, with so many matches, it's something that really has to be discussed," concluded the manager of Manchester United.
