Manchester United to come to an agreement with Ralf Rangnick

Manchester United will soon introduce the successor to the recently dismissed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Ralf Rangnick is to take over the coaching position at the Red Devils, at least on an interim basis.

According to information from SPOX and GOAL, an agreement has not yet been reached, but the talks are well advanced.

According to The Athletic, which reported on it first, the final decision depends only on the approval of Lok Moscow, which is firmly expected in Manchester.

Rangnick has been Head of Sport and Development at the traditional Russian club since July.

The 63-year-old will work as head coach for the team of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo until the end of the season and then remain in an advisory role for two more years.

Rangnick is to act as a placeholder at United for six months until the summer of 2022 and then act there as a consultant for two years. At Rangnick, the big desired solution will then follow on the coaching chair at United.

The 57-year-old Spaniard coached FC Barcelona until 2020. He has been without a club since leaving the Catalans. After the Rangnick revelations, it is unlikely that he will now act as a placeholder for a desired solution at United.

A dream solution for the summer according to Ranngnick would be MAURICIO POCHETTINO. The current Paris Saint-Germain coach remains a favorite. The 49-year-old himself was not averse if ManUnited made him an offer.

Ten Hag will be there until 2023 and most recently swore his loyalty to the club. It is similar with Rodgers. Northern Ireland is tied to Leicester City even until 2025.
