United confirmed the appointment of Rangnick as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s short-term replacement on Monday.
But Rangnick, who was manager of sports and development at Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow, had to wait for a work permit to begin his role at Old Trafford.
Caretaker manager Michael Carrick will take charge for a third time against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Thursday, the former United midfielder having overseen a Champions League win at Villarreal and a Premier League draw at Chelsea.
Rangnick will remain as manager until the end of the season before starting a two-year consultancy role at United.
