Breaking news : Ragnick in his first interview as a Manchester United Manchester gave reasons he snubbed Chelsea job all to wait for Manchester United job .

 Ralf Rangnick has admitted that he found

 it impossible to turn down Manchester United

 after they approached him to become their

 interim manager - despite having snubbed

 Chelsea's similar offer earlier this year.

Rangnick, 63, has penned a six-month 

contract to take over at Old Trafford until the

 end of the season, and will then move into 

an advisory role which will see him help 

decide who his own successor will be.

But his appointment at United came as 

somewhat of a surprise in light of his 

stance over not being a short-term option, 

although he has now suggested that his 

consultancy job influenced his decision.

'At the time, when Chelsea contacted me,

 they only spoke about the possibility of four

 months and no prospective of further than 

that,' he said, speaking at his first press 

conference in charge of United.

'Here, we are talking about six and a 

half months and a two year advisory role.

'If a club like Manchester United contacts

 you, you cannot possibly turn it down.'
