The weekend starts here …
Ahead of another few days’ piping hot football action, the imminent arrival of Ralf Rangnick as interim manager at Manchester United remains top of the news agenda. It’s good news for Tottenham, who won’t mind their shocking performance in Slovenia being overshadowed and important enough for Sky Sports News to have posted a reporter outside United’s training ground.
Ben Ransom, their man standing on the roadside in the cold, says the man they call The Professor has agreed personal terms and is waiting for Manchester United to negotiate the terms of his release from his current job at Lokomotiv Moscow.
As well as all the latest news from Carrington, we’ll be dropping in on press conferences the length and breadth of the UK as assorted managers get their chat on ahead of the weekend’s action. An interesting weekend of top flight action is topped and tailed by Arsenal v Newcastle at lunchtime tomorrow and Chelsea v Manchester United on Sunday. Michael Carrick will be in the technical area for that one before Rangnick takes charge.
