Ralf Rangnick has revealed what he noticed about the Manchester United team when he watched from the stands during the Red Devils’ 3-2 win over Arsenal on Thursday.
The 63-year-old will later today meet the players prior to his first match as Man Utd interim boss against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The German addressed the press for the first time on Friday as he is set to begin his role as United’s new interim manager.

Caretaker boss, Michael Carrick, left the club after the win, being his second in the three games he oversaw at the club.
Addressing the press on Friday, Rangnick said, “It is one of the biggest clubs, if not the biggest club in the world. It is a big challenge, but I am more than happy to work with this group of players.
“I mean obviously I have watched the latest games, I also watched out of interest the games against Liverpool and Manchester City, so I am pretty well acquainted with what is going on at the club.
“The major target for me is just to bring more balance to the team. We conceded two goals yesterday and if you look at the total number of goals conceded, it is on average of two a game.
“That is just too much. Those are not the kind of games you need every day. In football to me, it’s to minimize the coincidence factor.
“It’s about winning games and, in the end, I’m very ambitious. We want to make the most successful season that is possible. Right now, we have to be realistic. The difference between us and the top three is big. But let’s see.”
