Rangnick, 63, took over as interim manager at United in November but was unable to rescue their season. They finished sixth, with their lowest points tally (58) in the Premier League era, and failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
A statement from the Premier League club said: “We would like to thank Ralf Rangnick for his efforts as interim manager over the past six months.
“By mutual agreement, Ralf will now focus solely on his new role as manager of the Austria national team and will not therefore be taking up a consultancy role at Old Trafford.
Incoming boss Ten Hag would not be drawn on Rangnick’s position with the club when asked during his unveiling if he would welcome the 63-year-old’s consultancy role next season.
