When Ralf Rangnick was hired by Manchester United to be their interim manager, some eyebrows were raised amongst the fanbase.
The German has only managed for a limited time over the past decade, and even less time at a top-level European league. However, with United deciding to utilise Rangnick's biggest strength come the summer, with a backroom role, many fans were happier with that development.
Rangnick had enjoyed fine success acting as the Red Bull project's head of Global Football, along with other roles, overseeing RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig. Under his leadership, the project had grown into one of the most admired in world football, lauded for its talent identification, acquisition and development.
