MAN UNITED FAN VIEW: At last, it looks like the board is mapping out a future... Ralf Rangnick will lay the foundations for whoever's next - and work out who can fit into an intricate pressing style

It has been a whirlwind week at Manchester United. Last Saturday's stunning capitulation away to Watford saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacked as manager in an emotional exit for the Old Trafford legend.

Now, Ralf Rangnick is on the brink of taking over until the end of the season before moving into an advisory role with a manager taking over on a longer-term basis.
