Rangnick: "The major target for me is to bring more balance into the team. We conceded two [against Arsenal], needed three to win the game. It's just too much per game. My approach is to bring more balance, more control to the game."
"The people with whom I've spoken so far, they've been very clear we're talking about a six-and-a-half month role — If they then speak with me about that [permanent job], we will see."
"It's about winning games and, in the end, I'm very ambitious. We want to make the most successful season that is possible. Right now, we have to be realistic. The difference between us and the top three is big. But let's see."
"I watched [#mufc's] games against Watford, Chelsea, Liverpool and City. I’m pretty well acquainted with what’s going on at the club."
"The club has had no continuity in signing new players and sticking to the DNA of the club. In the future, the board members and my self have the same opinion. It's important not to have many changes in management."
"I got to know this two days and met with Michael [Carrick] and Kieran [McKenna]. I had a private conversation for about an hour and tried to convince him [Carrick] to stay on board."
"Seeing Cristiano yesterday at 36, I’ve never seen a player that physically fit at that age. He can easily make the difference."

Maybe if his backroom role after the summer is more formalised, so he feels he has some clout and not just influence, he'll be more attracted to handing over the coaching reins.
--------------------------------------------
I think, well I hope he's somebody we can trust to do what's right by the club and not himself.
I don't see the point in him recommending himself staying on as manager for another season if somebody like Ten Hag is available.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeh, from what I have read, that seems to be his outlook.

"Studying PE and English on exchange at the University of Brighton, he decided to keep himself fit whilst broadening his understanding on the nuances of non league football."
So we went from one PE teacher to another

And people say that there is no joined up thinking in our appointments.

Just finished watching the whole presser. I was very impressed in the way he talked about the game.
I am not expecting much difference from the first few games as there will be little time on the training pitch. But we will see if there is a different approach mentally.

Rangnick asked what he thought of the game against Arsenal: "All of you saw the game. The first half was shaky with this unlucky goal. Even myself, I said where is David [de Gea]? After that goal, it was a major blow for the team, they were lacking confidence."
Rangnick: "It was important to get the equaliser before halftime. You could see the potential that was in the team. To transfer the game away from our own box into an area where we have our assets."

Big difference between saying he WANTS to be manager beyond the 6 months, or that hed see IF he were asked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If he only moved to United so that he would eventually move upstairs then I think that he would have said that. He seems pretty straight talking. The fact that he didn't do that suggests that he fancies the permanent role.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. it suggests hed consider it if asked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If he didn't fancy it then he'd have ruled himself out.
I think that he will be happy with either role, but this might represent the one opportunity in his managerial career to win the big trophies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why rule himself out when he might be prepared /required to stay on?

He wouldn't.
But I don't think that he is just prepared to stay on. I think that he wants to stay on. He's already making noises about staying another year.

It doesn't show the back.
For all we know it could be a glory hole.

Not expecting much at the weekend. But since the game vs Young Boys is a dead rubber, he should be able to have some good sessions with the team next week.
