I do not know anything about him. But I'm skeptical of him. If he is so good, then why has he not been the manager of major clubs? He's not exactly a young and new manager.

I'm pumped for this. Get in.
As far as I am aware this isn't done yet, although it looks likely to be done by next week.
Hopefully he whips them all into shape!

Most excited I've been about a managerial appointment in my lifetime given I was born when Sir Alex was already manager.
No. it’s Ornstein. It’s like coming from Malcom Glazer himself.
He, could, conceivably, be given the job on the permanent basis, if he exceeds our expectations — I’d not be against that, at all.
Excellent stuff. We might see more 4-3 wins or losses and the squad will get fitter by next season.
Great news. I will celebrate by staying up extra late refreshing twitter tonight
This is not really about his ability but rather to have him at the club. He was always seen as one of the key people at the Red Bull circus. We will also change to an agressive pressing style and the next manager will without a doubt follow that route, so I totally expect us to hire someone like Ten Hag.
According to Romano Rangnick only accepted the job if we can guarantee him the power to make big club decisions in the next 2 years.
We seem to be heading into the right direction and that's much more important than if Rangnick as a manager will be amazing or not in the next 6 months. That said he isn't that bad as a manager either, will be interesting how he does with our squad.
Also important to note that clubs like Milan wanted him, but couldn't come to an agreement because he wanted too much control. Which is something I heard a few times about Rangnick, but would be great for us because the guys in control proved they shouldn't really make football decisions.
Kudos to the board for making a pragmatic and promising appointment.
Yeah the control part is the big thing. A lot of clubs don't want to relinquish control. Uniteds problem tends to be that we give too much of it to managers. So it suits Rangnick IMO.
The only interim we could have gotten that wouldn't feel like we've wasted the season.
its David Ornstein, very reliable reporter
I know nothing about him, but good luck to him.
Goodbye era of AWB, MCT.
Welcome Sancho, VDB
(I hope this ages horribly and AWB becomes incredible)

No. It's the Athletic
How about Ragnaros
My hard johnson is pressing against my jeans right now…
Let's be fair. What's he actually won? Seems to be fit for interim manager and subsequently in an executive capacity.
Laurie whitewell is very well connected! His podcast with Andy mitten is a really good listen.
Emotions got the best of me.
Wrote several posts about him being a good fit but did not think it would happen.
Someone important must have read them so i`ll pad myself on the back here.

Will both be gone and rightly so. The least you can do on top tier wages is play aggressively, like losing actually means something to you.
Are you his Mum?
WTF...you go in a Training call and when you come out the first you see on redcafe is a Ralf Rangnick Performance Thread.
Sensational news, I'm delighted. He is known as an absolut experte. Love it.

I think we can at least be happy that the club is trying to find actual solutions rather than papering over the cracks. Someone like this starting laying foundations for a modern football style a top manager can then take over would be good.
He's told to press? If he cant do it for 90 minutes he'll play 60 minutes or be used as a supersub.
Ronnie was working hard against Villareal and he looks very fit in general, he can clearly do it.
Let's stop pretending our forwards are incapable of moving because Ole was fine it.
There's a tidbit here about Firmino / Salah /Mané and the idea of "coaching players" into a mentality of forward pressing which might be interesting to those who are worried about how our existing players will cope with his counter-pressing style.
Can see AWB being one of the first guys to bite the dust. Playing high-octane, progressive football is completely at odds with his skill set.
Wow! We actually went for him!
I'm going streaking when they're sold.
Only players at United I've ever really hated. Genuinely feel they'd be addition by subtraction.
How about Ragnaros
Doesn't really fit does it. In no way shape or form is this appointment "too soon"... God I'm such a nerd.
Psyched about this though.
I think this is a good and sensible appointment but I think people will be disappointed if they expect gegenpressing to be embedded in these players in just half a season. Let us hope Ralf has some hybrid style in mind to implement.
No idea about him. What is his coaching style? Would he care much about McFred?
I think he'll do well tbh. Wan Bissaka needs a coach. He is quite a good presser and I think Rangnick will like that, but he needs a lot of work off the ball/away from action with his positioning. A good coach can make something of him
I actually think he'd like Fred given his work rate, he's always struck me as a player that just needs the right coaching and system to get a tune out of him. McTominay on the other hand I feel will have a tougher time, especially given his tendency to hide during games.
He said he wasn’t sure about Luke Shaw so I dread to see what he makes of AWB but we shall see in January.
Just read about him a bit. Pressing style. Interesting. He said he doesnt like square or back passes. Also interesting.
Exciting interim signing!
