I fear his "intense" personality won't go down well with the glazers in near future!
Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Welp, nice knowing you Ralf.
Yeah that's exactly when it should have been done, however can't go back now so just gotta wait for it all to get resolved
Agree with the sentiment but we have form for buying Chelsea rejects/unwanteds and he was the first to break the Werner to Chelsea story, so this might be one of those stories which helps him keep his credibility.

Should hopefully give the players some extra motivation to play out their skin knowing the new manager is watching and places are up for grabs.
Exactly. Now all of a sudden he has all of this inside info on who Rangnick wants to sign?
No Ralf. That would be the defense.
It’s not as daft as you think. Werner is painfully shite, and it was always obvious he’d struggle at Chelsea. He’s nowhere near the technical level to play for a top side.
Leipzig are a top side who play good football.
I’m sure he’ll have a word today and probably pop down to the dressing room before the game, if Covid regulations allow.
(Sorry Harry, Luke and Aaron)
On the other hand, you could say the Glazers are putting in charge a guy who hasn't managed in the last 5 years.
They are an okay side akin to an Everton anc absolute million miles away from a club like Utd. Not saying they don’t play good football but that’s the very reason not to overrate their individual players. The system protects many of their weaknesses. If the same can be done of these Utd players we have a ceiling way above them.
When was the last time Everton got to the Champions league semi final?
Leipzig are a Champions League team, Everton are a lower/mid-table side.
Why what's up with the facilities?
Mate they play in the bundesliga, if Everton played in that league they’d be a champions league team too. It’s the worst standard of defending in any of the top divisions.
It generally probably suits us more for him to come in and be in charge for the Norwich game which is the 11th. You don’t want your new man coming in to a fixture like Arsenal. Palace haven’t looked like mugs either. You g boys are in there somewhere but the fixture list from the 11th onward looks alright.
Take this as a pinch of salt as it’s the same guy that straight away flattened the news that we were even in for Rangnick.
So you’d take Werner then I assume?
We're gonna get linked with every former Rangnick and Leipzig player now.
Yeah, I would personally. I think he'd be brilliant in a Rangnick team.
Hope we don’t sign any. When we played them last year I remember thinking just how shite those players really were. Some fantastic coaching though at that club so credit for that! Hopefully Rangnick brings that with him
Are you allergic to goals?
You’d take Werner but you’ve have Ronaldo on the next plane out, only on red cafe!Ronaldo is 36 and cant work as hard as is needed potentially. I'd rather have a cohesive pressing side than pander to individuals who won't be here in 18 months.Are you allergic to goals?
Ronaldo could be 46 but he’d still be twice the player Werner is. Man couldn’t score in a brothel!
Ask yourself why Chelsea look like an elite team with elite coaching and Werner still looks crap? It’s because it was clear even for Leipzig that he didn’t have the technical ability of finishing to play for a top side. I called it before he moved and have continued to watch everyone scrabble for excuses for two seasons now!
While I agree, I would target someone that has a better technique. I would like a player with a profile close to Firmino particularly when we have Rashford and Greenwood potentially flanking him. We should be after a goalscorer but someone glues the attack, ideally Martial would evolve into that kind of player but adding someone would be interesting.
Maybe, but Werner is just not that good. If Rangnick can bring Rashford on then why bother with Werner, who also is nowhere near as talented as Martial?
Chelsea doesn't at all play to Werner's strengths. Look at how Leipzig played and his goal returns for them. Also Germany.
He's a system player akin to how Sancho is.
Look I'm not suggesting Werner is the be-all and end-all. I simply stated I think he would be really good in a Rangnick side, as opposed to Tuchel's possession-based system which highlights his flaws rather than playing to his counter-attacking and work-rate strengths.
I absolutely stand by that. If we happened to sign him then I'd be on board with it because I understand the logic and it would make our team better.
I don’t think Sancho is a system player, he’s showing that now. All he needed was a period to adjust but he’s starting to really look the business now. It’s also clear from 5 minutes watching them that Sancho is operating with so much more talent than Werner.
It’s just been convenient excuse after convenient excuse for Werner. The fact is he plays In a top side that produces tonnes of chances in a very defined system, if he can’t work there h won’t work anywhere at that level. Anyway glad that rumour is boll*cks because I wouldn’t touch Werner with a 10 foot pole.
Good for you Agree to disagree.
I agreed with you on Werner, it's in the first sentence.
Scoring goals should be one of Werners strengths, now where's that YouTube video showing all of Werners clangers?
SorryI agreed with you on Werner, it's in the first sentence.
Appoint a different interim manager.
You seem certain of his visa approval.
well goody for you.
EDIT: You mentioning Brexit is irrelevant. But that point will go over your head.

I mean he does score goals no? He just doesn't play in a way that maximizes his effectiveness.
Doubt is the Glazers will deal with him. Will be Arnold who will be previlaged to Rangnick's Statman Dave presentations on steroids.
If he doesn't get his permit by tomorrow we should pull the plug. Three games missed on a six month contract is not good
Steve Bruce or Mark Hughes would have ready last week
