Rangnick looks forward to meeting Sir Alex

The German is starting to settle into his new role and will be in the Old Trafford dugout for our home Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Sunday.

For his debut as Reds boss, he will sit in the seat previously occupied by Sir Alex, who Rangnick of course faced twice as Schalke 04 manager in the two legs of the 2011 UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Although the night over 10 years ago went better for the Scot than the German, as United secured a spot in the final with a 4-1 win at the Theatre of Dreams, our new interim boss would still like to chat with the club’s most successful manager.
