And, upon his entrance, he plans to introduce a one-of-a-kind and tough training drill to MancUnited.
Rangnick developed the "countdown clock" technique at former clubs, which is a challenging workout in which players must gain possession of the ball within 8 seconds of losing it.
Next, to take it a step further, they must make a change on goal in 10 seconds.
