Manchester United fans are anticipating the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's replacement this week.
Ralf Rangnick has agreed to take the role on a six-month trial term, replacing Zinedine Zidane, Mauricio Pochettino, and Ernesto Valverde on the Old Trafford bench. Rangnick will move into an upstairs post at the club after the agreed-upon six months, where he has had a lot of success in his career.
How will Manchester United play under Ralf Rangnick?
Manchester United will, or at least should, play in a way that excite their fans now that Rangnick is in charge. Throughout his career in Germany, the 63-year-old has worked under the moniker 'Professor,' and is regarded as one of the game's best strategists.
Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel have both been impacted by his work, and Julian Nagelsmann of Bayern Munich learned a lot from him during their time at RB Leipzig.
Rangnick, who is known for improving the people he works with, will have a lot on his plate in Manchester, but if he can get his message over to his players, he will be successful.
United will press in a way that they didn't under Solskjaer, and Rangnick will not back down, insisting that everyone buy into his vision for the squad.
Can Cristiano Ronaldo work under Ralf Rangnick?
Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, has some of the worst pressing statistics in the Premier League, prompting questions about his appropriateness for Rangnick's strategy.
Despite having a lot of speedy, youthful players around him, Cristiano may find himself having to pull his weight off the ball more than he has in the past several years, as he never had that obligation at Juventus or, arguably, even at Real Madrid.
When United is without the ball, Paul Pogba may face similar problems in midfield, as the Frenchman isn't always the first to press.
