Manchester United defender Eric Bailly admits the players have been told of Ralf Rangnick's imminent arrival.

Rangnick has reached an agreement with the Red Devils to take temporary charge of the club until the end of the season, before taking up a two-year consultancy role at Old Trafford.

The 63-year-old German coach will join the Premier League giants following less than six months at Lokomotiv Moscow as the head of sports and development.

Speaking to RMC Sport, Bailly confirmed that the Manchester United squad had been told about Rangnick's arrival.

The 27-year-old defender said: "We have been told in the dressing room about the arrival of the new manager."
