He prefers MLS to Manchester United

Manchester United begins its new stage with Ralf Rangnick at the helm. The architect of the Red Bull factory wants to wake up a sleeping giant and his first task, which has already begun, is at grass level.

The interim coach, who at the end of the season will go on to occupy a consultant role on the configuration of the next squads, is trying to gather his staff and has received the first ‘no’ in his transfer attempt.

New York Red Bulls coach Gerhard Struber has turned down Rangnick’s offer to join his new managerial team at Manchester United, as reported by the Manchester Evening News. Struber, who previously worked with Rangnick at RB Salzburg, felt that it was not the right time to leave the New York team and decided to decline the offer.

For his staff he will add two other old acquaintances: Chris Armas and Sascha Lense. The second will come as a sports psychologist after spending from 15/16 to 17/18 within RB Leizpig. Armas will arrive for the footballing part and with a certain ‘controversy’ around.

The New York coach trained under Jesse March in the New York franchise and then took over as head coach until September 2020. In January of this year he was first coach at Toronto FC in which he barely lasted 15 games and fIt was rescinded after losing six games in a row, the last being a historic 7-1 defeat against DC United. After six months out of work, Armas will return to work.

Certain members that Solskjaer already had will remain within the team such as Keiran McKenna or Mike Phelan as well as Darren Fletcher, who was assured in England that he has an excellent relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.
