Premier League club, Manchester United have announced the appointment of German manager Ralf Rangnick as the manager of the Red Devils till the end of the season. This confirms the reports which made the round since last week about the possible appointment of the German manager on a short term basis.
Rangnick will be in charge of the Old Trafford club till the end of the season after which he will take charge as a consultant for two more years.
His first game could be against Arsenal on Thursday when United face Arsenal if work permit is sorted before then. Rangnick who revealed to be delighted to be a part of Manchester United also said he hopes to end the season successfully. He also revealed his thoughts about the Manchester United squad.
“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, individually and, most importantly, as a team.
