Ralf Rangnick can get started at Manchester United

Let’s start: Team manager Ralf Rangnick has received the work permit to take office at Manchester United. The English record champions announced this on Thursday.

Rangnick will be officially presented on Friday and will be on the sidelines for United for the first time on Sunday at Crystal Palace (3 p.m.).

Interim coach Michael Carrick will still be responsible against Arsenal on Thursday (9:15 p.m.). Rangnick (63) was confirmed as the successor of the killed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Monday.

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.

With the UK leaving the EU, it is more difficult to get a work permit, so the delay at Rangnick occurred. In addition, according to the media, new pandemic rules made entry more difficult.
