It is already clear Ralf Rangnick will not treat interim management as Guus Hiddink did.
The Dutchman's role at Chelsea was to keep the big stars happy with an arm around the shoulder — and then disappear to let someone else establish long-lasting foundations.
At 63, Rangnick is keen to immerse himself in all things Manchester United, even if his official term in the hot seat is due to end in six months.
He is planning to find an apartment in nearby Hale next week, therefore already showing greater commitment than Jose Mourinho, who holed up in a hotel for two years.
