The Athletic: Man United reach agreement with Ralf Rangnick to become interim manager

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Ralf Rangnick to become the interim manager, according to The Athletic, a tier-one source.

The German specialist is expected to join the Red Devils on a six-month contract which will be followed by a two-year 'consultancy' position at the club.

The deal is subject to approval by Russian side FC Lokomotiv Moscow where the 63-year-old is currently working as a head of sports and development.

Rangnick will not be in charge for the Chelsea clash in the Premier League on Sunday due to the process of acquiring a work permit in the United Kingdom.
