Rangnick is the man..

I don’t doubt for a moment that he’s a thinker, but I have a nagging thought that we’re hiring a professor when we really need a pre-school teacher.

‘No Jonesy, cross over the laces THEN make the bunny ears’

‘£#%&! it, put the velcro boots back on’

RB Leipzig invested ­£1million installing a ‘Soccerbot’ for Rangnick

It’s a state-of-the-art simulator that enables players to put themselves in match situations using a 360 degree projector screen.

Rangnick describes it as “PlayStation football – but with your feet”.

Players can expect to be ordered into training ground 90 minutes before every session to undergo blood and saliva tests.

He's been known to bring in sleep specialists to advise his men on how to maximise their rest ­patterns.

Mad Genius

WTF

Yep.

Was reported over the weekend (not sure where I read it) that his first game will be v Palace.

Was it? I don’t think they’ve sorted the work permit tbh, they’d have announced it officially if they had. Took them ages to sort Varane’s out.

Won’t he have to self isolate too when he arrives?

Didn’t ‘sources’ claim he landed in England last Monday?

Our work permit experts should have him in by Christmas.

Should be confirmed shortly..

He does need to isolate until he’s posted a negative PCR test, unless he’s actually got Covid that’s shouldn’t be too long.

Hope so, maybe he can arrange for well timed Covid breakouts at our future opponents/rivals..

There you go..

Ralf Rangnick said: “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.”

Top comment on the Guardian article sums it up:

Good start then.

Well the players can £#%&! off can’t they. It’s shit like this that’s some if the problem in the first place.

Put the ego down, show willingness to learn and move on. I noted with interest that Ralphie mentioned the team in his first statement.

Would love to know more about this consultancy plan tbh. Will he be nipping in once a month? Sending a few emails? Making suggestions that are easily ignored? Stationed at Carrington dictating affairs? Wtf is it?

Sounds more like a director of football type role. Hopefully Murtough is more open to that because Woodward clearly didnt want it, the bald @#%&!.

If there had been no Brexit would RR have avoided any work visa issues?

So if we miss out on top 4 by 2 points that’s nice.
