Really hope he's taking training tomorrow.
As I go about my Monday I want to know that those players are getting the reality check of a lifetime, as well as leathered with proper tactical information probably for the first time in ages.
ThisWell done United for not fixing all this in the International break
It may take a little more time than that, as it seems me have quite a myriad of players who don't seem to work as hard as they should. Rangnick and the like will push them to their limits.Doubt there will be training tomorrow, suspect there will be a rest day after todays match. Then two sessions Tuesday and Wednesday before arsenal on Thursday.
It may take a little time for Ralf to get his philosophy across especially as we move into the very busy Christmas period were there won't be alot of time inbetween games.
If you're a child.And it's worked great so far said absolutely nobody.
A German national now needs a work permit to work in the UK. Absolutely crazy.
I seriously hope so I got a bet on at 25/1 with sky bet and 9/1 so sooner the better !
I've heard that he won't be in charge for the Arsenal game ? is that true ? Not looking forward to Arsenal with this terrible football that we're playing atm.
We ain’t even signed him yet. So no he won’t be.Really hope he's taking training tomorrow.

Yeah well I guess it is what it is. Not much I suppose Rangnick can do in a couple of days anyway.Well Disco (stupid name) from The Mirror said that a couple of days back. Unfortunately I fear that he's right on this and won't be in charge until Sunday.
Well done United for not fixing all this in the International break
If he were to stay on beyond the summer, or we appoint a manager with a very similar philosophy and demands, the World Cup could actually be quite a blessing for us, with them afforded loads of time to work with all the players not going, especially the younger players.
I've thought about this so many times and I still cannot get my head around how this can be possible.This.
Whoever the feck on our board voted and decided to stick with Solskjaer over the international break and let him go on a 9 day holiday needs their head examined. It was painfully obvious what needed to happen after City.
Now we’ve got games thick and fast with no international breaks to carry out a smooth transition. Great going United. You finally made a good decision but boy did you arrive at it late and pick the worst possible time to carry it out.
The board had a whole ass international break to get this sorted but they desperately wanted their mate Ole to hang on. Bunch of clowns. Now we have to put up with Carrick's shithouse tactics against Arsenal too.
Read an article in the Guardian's sport pages that he has all ready requested training videos, match videos and players performance data. These requests have been agreed by the board and supplied.
It also stated that one of the conditions of him becoming manager/coach was that he brought with him 2 coaches with whom he has worked with for a number of years and are fully intune with his methods and systems.
Whoever was responsible for not sacking Ole prior to the international break should be sacked and relieved of duties.
It's disgraceful how we screwed up something so obvious and simple.
Yes, assuming we beat Arsenal. If they win, they go 8 points clear. West Ham too. That's a fair bit of ground to make up just for 4th. That's why it's vital we beat them. So we definitely can't play like that on Thursday.Everyone agrees Ralf is the superior manager to Ole, however he and his main staff can still produce consistent results while implementing key tactical adjustments.
United are currently 5 points adrift of 4th, without any serious undefeated run thus far. He'll stick to a midfield 3 or a creative system that ensures United have numbers in central midfield, yet a solid shape for the benefit of the team.
There's enough talent to get positive results and the coaching coming in will provide consistent shapes and demands for short term, intermediate, and long term benefit.
United should still finish in the top 4 with Ralf as interim manager. Too much talent on hand, coupled with Ralf and the small distance to top 4.

Ok and haven't Arsenal already played City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Spurs also?That's not a lot of ground considering United have already played City, Liverpool, and Chelsea through 13 weeks.
United don't have to beat Arsenal, just need points. A full result would be fantastic, but every point counts when you're chasing. Cannot afford defeats for a while. West Ham have Brighton, Chelsea, Burnley. Likely to drop some points. Arsenal have United, Everton, Southampton. United have Arsenal, Palace, Norwich.

I agree.
I'd classify that as misconduct. The board need to make decisions that show responsibility towards the shareholders of the company and by delaying the sacking AND sending Ole on holiday when our performances were rock bottom is totally unacceptable.
The board members who sanctioned that should be removed from the board.

This is starting to feel a bit like the Sancho transfer.
We're all super excited but by the time United sort their shit out, the initial excitement and opportunity to give him the first game at OT against our old whipping boys is gone.
Literally, it has all the hallmarks of a transfer saga.
It showed that the board had no intention of sacking Ole. Even if he had lost narrowly to Watford, he would still be here. The tipping point for them was when Watford scored two goals in injury time to turn the scoreline from 2-1 into 4-1.
For me, he should have gone after the Aston Villa defeat.
Annoyed that Rangnick will unlikely be in charge for the Arsenal game and won’t have much time in the training ground as the games are coming very thick & fast now.
This shouldn’t be too much to expect but today, under carrick it was probably never realistic.Compared to recent United, eg against Liverpool, City, Watford etc it was decent. I'd say solid. We set up for a 0-0.
Compared to where we should be and the opposition, pretty rubbish. Only one team interested in playing football with some quality and finesse. We went for the underdog tactics again.
I said this many times under Ole, but you will know we are back when we go out against a top level team and we're there ones dominating periods, probing their defence with good, intelligent possession, creating openings through smart movement and intelligent passing.
We saw none of that today. I'm not saying this as a stick to beat Carrick with, but that's what this performance was today. We've had loads of these over the last 3 years. Let's call a spade a spade.
It's been three days since the reports we've agreed a deal with him. Three days.
I wonder how people here today would have survived actual sagas. Shearer, Ronaldinho, Berbatov, Tevez...
Rumour is he won't take charge until CP. Now I am not sure where you did your maths but that's not 3 days.It's been three days since the reports we've agreed a deal with him. Three days.

Manager appointments are not usually slow, just look how quickly OGS was in the job.
To be fair, this isn't unreasonable but it feels longer because this should have been done over the international break and now we have a game every 3/4 days.He was officially and seriously linked Monday last week. The acceptance was rumored to have been done around Thursday at the latest. Then 72 hours later was the Chelsea match.
United aren't just replacing Ole, but also coaches and support staff for Rangnick. Don't think Rangnick or any of his potential coaches have ever worked in the UK. Plus there's probably separate working visas or contracts because interim manager is only 6 months or so. Then as advisor or consultant might not be located full time within Manchester/UK.
