Manchester United Confirm the Appointment of Ralf Rangnick

Manchester United have confirmed that Ralf Rangnick will be the club’s new interim manager until June 2022.

The announcement was made on the Red Devils official website on Monday, November 29th. According to the statement released by the club, the German was the club’s first candidate to take over on interim when the club failed to get a manager on a permanent basis.

According to Manchester United’s director of football, John Murtough, he said Ralf was the club’s first option for an interim following the sack of Solskjaer.

“Ralf is one of the most respected coaches and innovators in European football. He was our number one candidate for an interim manager, reflecting the invaluable leadership and technical skills he will bring from almost four decades of experience in management and coaching. 

Everyone at the club is looking forward to working with him during the season ahead and them for a further two years in his advisory role.“

On the other hand Rangnick has expressed his excitement on joining the club on Manchester United’s website after his appointment.

“I am excited to be joining Manchester United and focused on making this a successful season for the club. 

The squad is full of talent and has a great balance of youth and experience. All my efforts for the next six months will be on helping these players fulfil their potential, both individually and, most importantly, as a team. Beyond that, I look forward to supporting the club’s longer-term goals on a consultancy basis.“

Rangick’s first game in charge of Manchester United will be against the Gunners on Thursday, December 2nd, 2021. Manchester United fans will hope his appointment brings wins their way as they have won just one game in their last eight Premier League games.
