DBasia.news – The new manager of Manchester United, Ralf Rangnick, wants to hold a meeting with the legendary coach of the Red Devils, Sir Alex Ferguson. Rangnick hopes the meeting can take place soon.
Ralf Rangnick began his duties as skipper of Manchester United. The 63-year-old coach is expected to bring Manchester United to end the season in the best place.
Rangnick began to adapt to his new home. The manager wants to meet Sir Alex Ferguson who is a respected figure at Manchester United.
“I wanted him but Sir Alex returned to New York yesterday and had to stay for one to two days at home due to Covid regulations. However, I am really looking forward to meeting him in the next two to three weeks,” Rangnick told Manchester United’s official website.
While still in charge of Schalke 04, Rangnick faced Sir Alex Ferguson in the 2011 Champions League semifinals. At that time, the Red Devils won 4-1.
“Darren Fletcher told me if he wanted to arrange lunch or dinner. I saw that clearly when we played each other.”
“After the second leg, he invited me to his office at Old Trafford for a glass of wine. At that moment he enjoyed it more because we lost 4-1. The team he has and ours is too big a gap.”
After a glass of wine at the Theater of Dreams, Rangnick reunited with Ferguson four years later. Rangnick couldn’t forget the moment.
“I met him again in 2015 at the sports magazine Kicker awards. We had dinner together and it was amazing. Again, I was really looking forward to meeting him in person.”
