What system you lot think he will set up?
Think Martial, Pogba and couple of others are going to buckle under him as sounds like he relies on alot if work rate of the ball.
Lingard getting bit of hope maybe to starting games more?

Oh god there’s something growing inside me. My love for the club is slowly returning with this fantastic appointment! Listen to him speak, he’s a genius.
It's just what he wants. Nonsense.
There is absolutely no reason to think he'd oppose Pochettino or prefer ten Hag. They both play a high press and look for quick transitions.
Does he has United DNA?
Yes on this, he will need to book one of the conference rooms to give Carrick and the lads a crash course won't he?
They are relative novices in the game and his style is alien to how we've played under these coaches in their time here isn't it.If they can use the rest of this season to coach this style into the squad and hand over to Ten Hag I will (for the first time in a LONG time) give the club some real credit for how they are managing things.
Excellent news! It's got to be Ten Hag in the summer then. Probably an agreement already in place.
Good read

Success with Ulm, who won promotion for a second year running and went up to the Bundesliga, delivered his first big job: head coach at VfB Stuttgart in 1999. But he immediately came up against a problem that would follow him around at other top-level engagements. The same people who hired him to bring in change lost their nerve when said changes threatened the existing order. Rangnick’s reformist zeal lost traction amid the complex power structure of a club that’s never quite happy at the best of times. He didn’t enjoy VfB’s full backing when he suspended Krassimir Balakov, an old-school playmaker who didn’t fancy all that running. A few months later, Rangnick got sacked.

I like this. We'll have actual consultancy from an experienced football person, rather than bankers and amateur ex players making football decisions.
Is it known in which role he'll stay after 6 months?
So basically he says his approach is similar to Klopp and characterizes his style as "heavy metal rock-n-roll" instead of "slow waltz".
We were tracking him for a while, even before Ole. Great to see. The right next step and we buy some time for the summer planning. Also happy he stays on and modernises the club a bit
Get the feck in there. Slam your big balls on their table.
It's a bit of an odd one as Martial with work rate is probably the perfect CF for a Rangnick, hopefully Ralf will coach it into him because Martial has all the ability and potential to be a starting CF.
has to be a good appointment, its even got heads nodding on RAWK
The best thing about this is that we'll get a highly knowledgeable and opinionated person working with everyone, players, staff etc. It will be interesting to see what his views are of certain players and coaches come summer, which is exactly what we need.
I hope he can implement his style fairly quickly as I'm excited to see this team having to work hard for once. It will be a sight for sore eyes.

Potentially the best news about United for a good decade. An appointment like this feels very ambitious and a real recognition that wider change is also needed to take us back to the top.
It could all go to pot, it could disappointment, but an appointment like this really allows you to dream.

Consultant.
I'm happy as long as we keep ex United players and people (apart from SAF) far away from the club.
They know nothing and we need to move away from 'The United Way'.

Not really as he should be running training himself, and he will probably delegate clear instructions to Carrick and the rest into how sessions will need to be set up. In the summer they’ll likely be replaced by the incoming permanent manager.
That's brilliant news. He stays on for two seasons with ten Hag being our manager cum summer. (Hopefully)
This could bloody work.
With any luck they'll be out in January. Sick to death of them and Mourinho had them pegged for what they are in 2018.
I imagine Rashford and Greenwood are seriously going to have buckle down and put in the work to get playing regularly. He'll allow for Ronaldo and he'll love Sancho and Cavani so those two better get on their bikes.
I think Fred is going to look a different player under him.
I wasn’t expecting that at all which makes this even more sweeter that we will have an actual footballing head at board level.
Hopefully now a good end to the season and then Rafael starts sorting out the footballing structure at this club and makes some much needed-changes in that area.
One hell of a hipster. I feel somebody will be really unhappy
Very sensible appointment. Surprised at how quick it seems to have been sorted. No more dawdling about. Excited to see what the next 6-7 months holds.
Don't necessarily agree that this means we're definitely going for Ten Hag in the summer. Wouldn't this also work with how Pochettino likes to set up? But does seems like those two are the most likely. At least it looks like there'll be some semblance of continuity between the two. Unlike how we went from Van Gaal to Mourinho.
Think people are kidding themselves if they think this means the entire backroom staff are gone. He's only here until the end of the season. Maybe he'll bring one or two in but there won't be any wholesale changes until the permanent manager is sorted.

Two seasons? The goal is Ragnick interim now then Ten Hag this summer. There's no point in having a 2 years interim.
Because that particular guy is a good coach that prefers to be a DOF/Football executive, he did the same thing for Leipzig. By bringing him, you fix two issues, in the short term you have someone taking care of the first team and in the mid to long term you added an executive that knows how to build the football side of a club from top to bottom.
Poch and ETH are probably the 2 best (semi?) available managers out there. We get either one I'll be ecstatic. To dismiss Poch right off the bat seems crazy to me.
Promising news.
We can finally start assessing whether our players are shit or if it was only our tactics making them shit.
Nowhere to hide now!

He told the board that he will be more than happy to accept the job if they show transparency and an understanding to his way of working. He also didnt want to be here for a temporary position, and really wanted to develop the club to get it back to where it was. He decided that to do this he would be best suited in a 'consultancy' type role, as opposed to permanent manager.
I hated his tenure more than any of the post-Fergie coaches but Van Gaal would have unironically been a good appointment in this scenario.
Nothing long term - It's about laying the foundations for the next manager. Rangnick is perfect for that.
Dont ask me how I know because I just stated the obvious shit that happened, just like Romano sometimes does.
Also I'd not be shocked in the slightest if he ends up getting an extension.
