While tactics, formations, and which players will and won't benefit from the new manager have all been discussed. One thing I'm interested to see is does he have an impact on transfer strategy.

Obviously it's pointless suggesting potential targets that suit his style of football as any signings made will likely be for a different manager altogether.

Yet Rangnick has been very clear about the importance of signing players that suit the club's vision and profile. He has said before about not signing players over 24, which does suit the kind of age where we have had the most success with out signings.

So many aspects to look forward to with this appointment, so much hope.

Shappy it seems he is going to be the guy to go to.
Everyone in place will look to him.
He offers a safe bet in young up an coming players who won't cost the earth but can be molded into a new ethos.
Likely they won't be ready made. so cheaper.
Which ticks our owners box.
It's a win win tbh.

Isnt this where the lines get blurred now we know he is staying for 2 further years after the end of the season with a remit to define a playing style if we believe what's been written this week

I don't see him spending big in January of course but if he is this tactical genius with a vison of how we should be playing and within 3 weeks of arriving and coaching the squad he decides the team needs Franck Kessie (e. g) this season to implement his style of play and UTDS style of play going forward with the next manager, and beleives a team with Franck Kessie is essential and will benefit Utd for the next 5 years with Poch or Ten Hag then doesn't he go out and buy him in January, surely that's what succession planning is?
