The favourite to be the next permanent Leeds United manager, Jesse Marsch, has already made his feelings on Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick clear.
Following Marcelo Bielsa's dismissal from his role at Elland Road, the American manager has been installed as the favourite to succeed the Argentine.
Marsch worked under Rangnick during his time at RB Leipzig, as his assistant manager during his stint in charge of Die Roten Bullen in 2018 before swapping Leipzig for Salzburg.
And Marsch already spoken highly of the 63-year-old and the work he could do at Old Trafford shortly after Rangnick's arrival earlier in the season.
"This is what Ralf is tasked with, to take his own model," Marsch told The Athletic in January.
"It’s his chance to apply it to the biggest players and the biggest club.
"His dream, I know, has always been to come to the Premier League. His name has been linked with a number of clubs but I always felt he had an eye on Manchester United.
"He has always been supportive to me. I’m really happy for him that he has this opportunity.
"I’m almost watching it as a fan because I want him to do well. He has worked so hard in his life to get to this point and I would love to see him institute his idea at this club."
It remains unlikely that the two will meet on the touchline, even if Marsch gets the Leeds job, as Rangnick looks set to take on his consultancy role at United the end of his interim stint.
