I'd guess so. At least he'll have a big say in footballing matters. Well I hope.
Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

Donny for sure will be loved. High energy, can press and can pass. Fred would be ideal also but he cant pass.
Good.
The consultancy part is very interesting - and all in all this package is much more promising to me than hiring a permanent manager straight away.
Could it be that Murtough actually knows what he's doing?

The other option is the manager adapts to having one of the best strikers in the world, and sets up a system with him that works. I'm sure it's possible.
Does anyone know if this a hands-on coach who takes training, or one who delegates?
I rememeber when Van Gaal came to manage us. There was so much controversy about him, and so many were advising its gonna turn bad.
Hey look,
I like the appointment, but looking at his history - what has the guy actually won? Great playing attractive high pressure football but if he's not won anything then do his tactics actually work?

I wonder how pogba will fit in a salfordpress?
Definitely! Having him there to move things in the right direction and start laying the groundwork, approaching things in a holistic manner with an eye on the future will be really beneficial, as opposed to having someone come in to see out the season who could be fundamentally different in their approach and disconnected to the permanent manager who follows them, and would probably be focusing on their 6 months rather than having a vision past that.
Yeah he will definitely be useful in playing a role in choosing the manager, he's obviously been very influential for many of the current generation of managers and will have a very good insight for United to rely on. Have you got a preference at this point?
It will be interesting, I sometimes wondered if it was tactical but then seeing Cavani's incredible workrate when he'd be next to Rashford I was a lot less sure about it being a tactical thing. I think if they commit to it, especially Rashford still only 24 and Greenwood and Sancho being very young, these players who are already very talented could go up a level and this United side could be a pretty fantastic watch
Carrick's new manager bounce should last another game or 2...then Ralf can add a second bounce immediately before the first subsides...holy feck it gonna be a huge bounce.
Hold onto your hats lads.

Nice. I have no idea if he'd any good as a manager but apparently he has improved clubs in how well they're run? So that's probably a good thing for a club like ours.
De Gea will like that...
That's very interesting. Not what's the norm right now right? With pressing and high line with a sweeper keeper. And the GK is required to be good with the feet and an integral part of build up and beating the counter press. Interesting.
Got to say that it is an exciting move, I was dreading Rodgers.
Yup - People should probably temper expectations for this season. This is all about giving the club some direction. I can't see how his influence wont be a good thing. He's instantly the most qualified football person at the club. Yes even more than SAF.
That said he could improve us significantly just because the setup we had previously was so incompetent. It makes the rest of the season pretty unpredictable. This is definitely a great step.
Ralf Rangnick at the reel.
Signed Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane, Ole gone, Rangnick as an interim and then in consulting role, most likely Ten Hag permanent manager in summer! Stars are aligning for united.

Shhhhhh don’t curse us.
The decision making from the club has been getting and better for a few years now.
I think some fans need to update their material. Still judging the club on what was happening five years ago.
Maybe transition into DOF? I'm very excited about this. Hope he lays the foundation for Ten Hag and then moves upwards to do for us what he did for RB Liepzig.

Ralf Rangnick
Was trying to make sense of that too!
He has developed the most fascinating, captivating, efficient brand of football that you have seen in recent years. Thats what hes done.
Holy feck it's refreshing to see some decisions that have some thought and oversight put in.
So are some of you still annoyed we missed out on Conte? I'm calmer now
Wasnt aware of him before, fair enough and hope he helps transition to a longer term manager, hopefully Ten Hag.
DDG - heck, our entire central midfield is fecked - Fred, McT and Matic
Wreck-It Ralph is at the wheel.. 
Holiday is over boys. Time to sweat for your paychecks now.
yes this corporate speak, companies do this all the time when executives struggle. Murtough is never going to let his title go or shows signs that he's needs help, hiring a consultant sounds much better than hiring a tutor. And we get to keep in house as an interim manager, in case the next one pulls a Moyes.
This is good, isn't?
I know we're all giddy and I don't wish to dampen the mood, but i'm just wondering why he hasn't managed any top team in Germany (or even outside of Germany)?
He's the proto-Klopp.
Invented gegenpress. But didn't perfect it. Hence his lack of trophies.
That being said, this was the last season he managed a team:
If he can sort out our defence like with RB Leipzig, our attack should still have enough quality to score a shit ton of goals.
Love this. Not sure if we have the right personnel for gegenpressing type football but should be exciting
Of course, both his Southampton and Spurs teams both pressed relentlessly, it was his trademark.
What an appointment. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
Not getting my hopes up until he's officially announced.
Surely end of united career for Pogba.
He will love how active Fred is tbf
