Ralph Rangnick has been granted a work permit to start his
reign as Manchester United manager, the Premier League club announced on
Thursday.
The 63-year-old German will be introduced to the media on
Friday and take charge of the team for the first time at Crystal Palace on
Sunday.
“As all paperwork has now been completed, we will hold an
in-person press conference with Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford at 9:00 am
tomorrow morning,” said a United statement.
United confirmed the appointment of Rangnick as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s short-term replacement on Monday.
But Rangnick, who was manager of sports and development at
Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow, had to wait for a work permit to begin his role
at Old Trafford.
Caretaker manager Michael Carrick will take charge for a
third time against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Thursday, the former United
midfielder having overseen a Champions League win at Villarreal and a Premier
League draw at Chelsea.
Rangnick will remain as manager until the end of the season
before starting a two-year consultancy role at United.
