Ralf Rangnick's journey as interim manager of Manchester United or MU may not go down in history as one of success.
However, it may still be well remembered by fans given his no-nonsense approach and decision to challenge club protocol.
The German, came to United with great ideas to change a fractured club, but despite his best intentions, he found it very difficult to implement and make the necessary changes.
In principle, a manager like Rangnick is what United need, someone who is not afraid to reveal tough truths and an individual who has the authority and experience to challenge the decisions that have been made on him.
The 63-year-old may not walk as well as talk, although there is hope that Erik ten Hag certainly can.
Rangnick is believed to be an admirer of the Ajax boss and one of those who back his credentials as a future Manchester United manager. Time will tell if he manages to live up to such high expectations, but in doing so he may learn a valuable lesson from the man he replaced in the Old Trafford dugout
Paul Pogba's contract at Old Trafford will expire at the end of June 2022. Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has confirmed the France midfielder will leave on a free transfer.
Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain continue to be linked with the 29-year-old. However, there have been reports, recently, which claim that the 2018 World Cup winner is also open to staying in the Premier League.
The Daily Star reports that Manchester City have been approached to discuss the possibility of signing Pogba in recent weeks. Rivan MU can get it for free.
However, the report also claims that the seven-times Premier League champions have made it clear they are not interested in bringing Pogba to the Etihad Stadium next season.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola also stated in 2018 that the club had turned down the opportunity to sign the former Juventus man. At that time, Jose Mourinho was the manager of Manchester United.
Pogba's performance this season with Manchester United has been less convincing. He has just scored and provided nine assists in 27 appearances for Man United this season.
Pogba is now struggling to return to Manchester United before the end of the season due to a calf problem.
Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick says Paul Pogba will not play again this season. The reason the French midfielder suffered a calf injury.
"Right now there's no need to think about that because he can't play against Arsenal and maybe the next United games. As it looks right now, he won't be extending his contract and I don't know if the club or Erik want to extend his contract," Rangnick said.
The late arrival of MotoGP cargo made 16 riders from various teams affected by the delay in arriving at the Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit, Argentina, on Friday.
This situation also forced Dorna Sports as the promoter to change the schedule. As a result of these changes, one free practice session (Free Practice/FP) for all classes was cancelled. As a result, there are no activities for the racers to do at the circuit on Friday (main photo).
Everyone knows motorcycle racing is a team sport. Although, the biggest responsibility to win the podium, victory or title, remains in the hands of the drivers.
However, all that cannot go smoothly, or at least according to plan and strategy, if the racer cannot get a motorbike with good performance and durability. These two factors are clearly related to preparation.
This is what they face at Termas de Rio Hondo. Two years (2020 and 2021) have not been used, practically the drivers and teams need significant time to determine the best suit.
Unfortunately, the problem of cargo delays cost the drivers a very valuable session. Now, they practically rely on the expertise and foresight of the mechanics in determining the best set-up for Termas de Rio Hondo.
With cargo arriving on Friday, it will take extra hard work to catch up with time and fight fatigue. A Mooney VR46 Racing Team crew explained how much total time it took in the pits to prepare.
“It took three hours to unload the cargo. Then, it takes another four hours just for one motorbike, to install all the components of the motorbike so that they are intact, "he said.
“If the cargo arrives on Friday morning, the work can take all day and finish on Saturday, without sleep. This feeling of exhaustion will definitely be felt in the body.”
As previously reported, this delay was related to the aircraft damage that occurred in Mombasa, Kenya. The absence of spare cargo planes – partly due to the impact of the Russo-Ukrainian war – and the complexity of loading and unloading, forced the aircraft to be repaired on the spot.
Dorna Sports itself has not yet provided information whether there is a possibility of this incident being repeated for the next race in Austin, Texas, United States, next week.
