Arsenal boss Arteta gives verdict on new Man Utd boss Ralf Rangnick

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hailed Manchester United’s appointment of Ralf Rangnick and referred to the German as one of the world’s top coaches.

The 63-year-old will take charge of United for the remainder of the season before taking on a two-year consultancy role at Old Trafford.

The German is seen as the brain behind the ‘gegenpresing’ style of football, and has had influence on the likes of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel.

Gunners boss Arteta described the German’s appointment as really interesting and says he’s looking forward to coming up against Rangnick.

“He’s been one of the top coaches,” said Rangnick.

“He’s made some radical changes in some areas and is a really interesting person in the football world and a really interesting appointment for the football club.”
