Rangnick had a look around the facilities at Old Trafford before making his way from the tunnel in the corner near the Stretford End and walking to the dugouts.
According to reports from various sources, the German won’t be in the dugout when Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League, but the German is expected to be in attendance, at least in the directors’ box and therefore Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s former assistant Michael Carrick will stand in as caretaker manager for his third match as the Red Devils’ manager.
According to reports emerging from England Rangnick’s work permit is expected to be granted in time for Sunday’s home fixture against Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace.

Why can’t Rangnick take charge ahead of the Arsenal game:
England source the Daily Mail reveals that- “the German coach does not meet the FA’s criteria for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) because he has not managed a top-flight club in Europe for long enough in the last five years — either two years consecutively or three years cumulatively.”
“Although Rangnick twice took charge of RB Leipzig in the 2015-16 and 2018-19 seasons while also working as the club’s director of football, that is not enough to qualify automatically for a GBE — as Antonio Conte did when taking over at Tottenham a month ago because of his recent stints at Inter Milan and Chelsea.”
“United sources argue that Rangnick has held other senior roles at RB Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moscow but, technically, he has not worked enough in this period as a manager.”
“His GBE will need to be approved by a three-man exceptions panel appointed by the FA, and chaired by a legal professional and two other figures with a background in football, before he can be granted a work permit by the Home Office.”
