Ralf Rangnick appoints new coach

Manchester United takes on Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday before traveling to Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday evening, live on Sky Sports.

Armas was the head coach of the New York Red Bulls from 2018 to 2020 before moving on to Toronto FC, where he was fired in July of this year.

Rangnick set to rest key players in Champions League

Rangnick, who was Red Bull’s head of sport and development during Armas’ tenure in New York, previously worked with Lense at RB Leipzig, and United’s interim manager is hopeful that work permits will be granted soon.

Rangnick said it would “make sense” to rest players after already qualifying for the knockout stages as group winners, and revealed both goalkeeper Dean Henderson and midfielder Van de Beek would start when asked about their futures after January.

Although Edinson Cavani and Raphael Varane were spotted back in training on Tuesday, Rangnick stated that they will not be able to participate in full sessions until next week.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
