Manchester United: Rangnick debut on Sunday at the earliest

Team manager Ralf Rangnick will make his debut with the English soccer champions Manchester United at the weekend at the earliest. As the Red Devils confirmed, the team around world star Cristiano Ronaldo against Arsenal will be looked after again by interim coach Michael Carrick on Thursday.

Rangnick could sit on the United bench for the first time against Crystal Palace on Sunday. The background to the delay is that Rangnick first has to receive the required work permit. This has become more difficult with the UK leaving the EU. In addition, according to the media, new pandemic rules make entry more difficult.

Rangnick was confirmed on Monday as the successor to the slain Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The former Bundesliga coach will look after United until the end of the season and then serve the club as a sports advisor for two years.
