They appointed a DoF a few months ago

I still can see he'll take that DoF role. For purpose of scouting, recruitment, ambition to expand the brand as how it was with Milan, etc. Hence re-engineering the business process. He seems to have been involved in that capacity. the current DoF they have doesn't have a clue.

I'm starting to suspect you don't like united very much...

De Gea will be fine, Rangnick hates keepers playing the ball. There's a famous quote of his along the lines of "The goalkeeper is the worst player on the pitch, we want him to touch the ball as little as possible"

Hope that includes saving with his feet

Yet another reminder that Mata still plays for them, which I forget over and over and over and over again.

Is this the right time to mention that Phil Jones still plays for them, and is contracted to do so until 2023?

Ralph who?

How the mighty have fallen :-)

He's a shoe-in for their DoF, seems to be his past role. I don't know much of him apart from listening to his talks now to find out what his filosofee is. And from what I can gather, sounds like an outdated approach, and even if he is insistent in implementing this, he just doesn't have the players in united, certainly not within 6 months.

Looks more like a move to re-engineer their business process for the long-term.

When, in the last ten years, have they ever thought long-term? I don't buy it. I think we should keep the faith and assume they still have no idea what they are doing.

The mess they are in, with the owners they have, I doubt this guy is United's Messiah. He could just turn out to be a very naughty boy.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

he'l be very limited to the January window as we all know so its not going to happen untill next August and by then he'l have packed his bags,,maybe he's sowing the seed for going into transition which is what they should have done when the turtle came in this is backed up by them sacking Ole and efectivly writing the domestic season off

Locomotive President, might be expecting him back after the 6. lol.

He hasn’t won anything. Bayern dominate the bundesliga. The reason he hasn’t gone to the two dominant German clubs in Bayern and Dortmund is due to how much control he wants. Bayern’s board would hate him. Dortmunds board are arrogant he wouldn’t work there.

but what Rangnick does is stabilise and input a philosophy at the club he is at. He has a very good eye for talent. Moving to a director of football for the rags annoys me because he will get the best coach possible for them we could see Ten Hag turn up. He’s also not scared to bench or sell players that disrupt his play style.

at Leipzig Werner or Poulson would press the fullbacks that would then lead to the midfield pressing till it looked like a square where all passing lanes were cut off then Sabitzer or their other midfielders kampl and Forsberg would intercept and launch the counter. Where the 4 fastest players in attack Werner, Bruma, Bernardo and Poulsen would attack as a four outnumbering the opposition defence which more often than not ended with a goal. He likes pacy attackers And quick transitions.

But the rags do not have the players with the discipline to do that. rags midfield full of egos and shit players. If Fred and mctominay try that it’s going to be a car crash.

Don’t know where you got that from mate the fast as fuck attacker Bernardo ?

He’s a defender mate plays fullback and is slow as fuck, useless **** was at Brighton as well few year back

So who called RagNick???

“Can you look after our sinking ship for 6 months?”
Yeah, no problems. Meet my terms?
“Ok. But don’t release them”

Let’s see what financial package he’s on!!!!!
