Gary Neville sends a message to Ralf Rangnick, as he becomes new Man United boss

Gary Neville has officially welcomed Ralf Rangnick to Manchester United, following his recent appointment as interim manager.

The Red Devils announced the German as their new manager on Monday, after days of looking for a successor for the departed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Rangnick became the favoured candidate for the role after impressing more than other contenders during a series of interviews.

He comes into a Man United side, who have won just one of their last 8 games in the Premier League, and faces a huge task to motivate the players.

After Rangnick’s appointment on Monday, Neville took to his Twitter to write: “Welcome to the Greatest Football Club in the World Ralf Rangnick.

“A contract for 6 months to coach the team. A contract for 2 years to coach the club.”

Rangnick is expected to take up a consultancy role at Old Trafford at the end of the season, while Manchester United look for a good long-term replacement.
