Manchester United's season of failure: The 28 games under Ralf Rangnick

Manchester United will be delighted to see the end of the 2021-22 season after they visit Crystal Palace on Sunday.

It was another trophyless campaign for the Old Trafford giants, saw the sacking of club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, an early exit from the Champions League, knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Middlesbrough, and Premier League thrashings at relegated Watford and Brighton.

To add to United's misery, they have had to watch arch-rivals Manchester City and Liverpool disappear over the horizon in a thrilling battle for the Premier League, and even had fans protesting at their seemingly backwards momentum under the ownership of the Glazer family.

Ralf Rangnick was brought into United on the back of Solskjaer's sacking, but after an initial bounce, he struggled to make any impact on the season.

The 28 games under the German's stewardship prove just what a task new manager Erik ten Hag faces when he takes charge in the summer after leaving Dutch club Ajax.

How The Debt Panel's advice helped readers in 2019

December 11: 'My husband died, so what happens to the Dh240,000 he owes in the UAE?'

JL, a housewife from India, wrote to us about her husband, who died earlier this month. He left behind an outstanding loan of Dh240,000 and she was hoping to pay it off with an insurance policy he had taken out. She also wanted to recover some of her husband’s end-of-service liabilities to help support her and her son.

“I have no words to thank you for helping me out,” she wrote to The Debt Panel after receiving the panellists' comments. “The advice has given me an idea of the present status of the loan and how to take it up further. I will draft a letter and send it to the email ID on the bank’s website along with the death certificate. I hope and pray to find a way out of this.”

November 26: ‘I owe Dh100,000 because my employer has not paid me for a year’

SL, a financial services employee from India, left the UAE in June after quitting his job because his employer had not paid him since November 2018. He owes Dh103,800 on four debts and was told by the panellists he may be able to use the insolvency law to solve his issue.

SL thanked the panellists for their efforts. "Indeed, I have some clarity on the consequence of the case and the next steps to take regarding my situation," he says. "Hopefully, I will be able to provide a positive testimony soon."

October 15: 'I lost my job and left the UAE owing Dh71,000. Can I return?'

MS, an energy sector employee from South Africa, left the UAE in August after losing his Dh12,000 job. He was struggling to meet the repayments while securing a new position in the UAE and feared he would be detained if he returned. He has now secured a new job and will return to the Emirates this month.

“The insolvency law is indeed a relief to hear,” he says. "I will not apply for insolvency at this stage. I have been able to pay something towards my loan and credit card. As it stands, I only have a one-month deficit, which I will be able to recover by the end of December."
