Ralf Rangnick is set to work just six days a month when he begins a consultancy role at Manchester United this summer.
The interim manager has agreed a two-year stay beyond this season and, although United have been tight-lipped on the details of his next role, Sportsmail has learned that it would constitute 144 days’ work should Rangnick remain at Old Trafford until 2024.
The 63-year-old has not been consulted in the club’s hunt for a permanent boss, with Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax’s Erik ten Hag the frontrunners for the job after talks.
Pochettino has the backing of several former United players but Ten Hag boasts a growing following among the United fanbase.
