A video of Eric Cantona first made social networks shudder this Thursday in the early afternoon.
The ex-King of Manchester United announced that he would be the next coach of the Manchester United club on Instagram.
“I wanted to tell you exclusively that I am the new coach of Manchester United.
I'll tell you about my staff later.
An announcement more in the form of a joke.
Because according to The Athletic, Manchester United would hold its interim coach well five days after the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
And it is not the former striker of the Blues ...
The Pochettino track still relevant for next season
The Red Devils would, in fact, have reached an agreement with Ralf Rangnick (63) for a six-month contract, then two years in a consultancy role.
That puts an end to rumors of a Mauricio Pochettino arrival, at least for this season.
Because the leaders of Manchester United would always think of the current and much discussed coach of PSG for 2022-2023.
As for Rudi Garcia, he will therefore remain a consultant on Canal + where he commented on Manchester City - PSG on Wednesday evening.
The former coach of OM and OL has well met the leaders of Mancun.
Even though he wasn't the favorite, he was definitely part of a short list.
The German Ralf Rangnick is a former member of the Red Bull group where he led Salzburg and Leipzig.
He is currently at Lokomotiv Moscow as director of football.
He must find an agreement with his employers to be released and obtain his work permit.
In the meantime, it is the current interim Mickaël Carrick who will lead the shock against Chelsea on Sunday.
Rangnick should therefore begin his short mission against Arsenal on Thursday, December 2.
