Gary Neville welcomes Ralf Rangnick to 'the greatest football club in the world' after the German was announced as Manchester United's interim boss following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Gary Neville has issued Ralf Rangnick with a warm welcome to Manchester United after the German was confirmed as the club's interim manager on Monday morning.

Rangnick has been hired on a short-term contract until the end of the season, replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after he was sacked earlier this month while the Red Devils look for a new permanent manager.

The 63-year-old German has joined from Lokomotiv Moscow, where he was manager of sports and development, and will take over from caretaker boss Michael Carrick.
