Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick believes it would be a "nice idea" if a stop-clock system was introduced to the football laws to try and increase the amount of time that the ball is actually in play - but has conceded that it is unlikely.
In recent weeks, speculation has been mounting about the possibility of a stop-clock being introduced to the game, in a bid to try and cut out the amount of time wasting that goes on. In several games this season, there have been instances where the ball has been in play for less than 60 minutes of a 90-minute match.
Other sports across the globe feature stop-clock procedures, such as in ice hockey. It has been touted as a possible addition to football, but Rangnick is not convinced it will be introduced, even though he has hinted that he would welcome the idea.
