1 TACTICAL GENIUS! The German gaffer is a master tactician, so it won’t take him long to work out the best system for his stars – just like Santa knows you can’t have Rudolph sat at the back! He’s also adaptable and not afraid to change the formation if things aren’t going how he planned! 2 THE HIGH-PRESS! All Red Devils supporters are asking for this Christmas is to see their players press higher up the pitch, and that’s something Rangnick will demand more of as time goes on! His high-press actually inspired Jurgen Klopp’s mega popular style of play when the bosses were both in the Bundesliga! 3 FORWARD PASSES!

ELLEN WHITE MAN. CITY WHITE SAYS: “I like LEGO and Harry Potter, so last Christmas my husband got me the Diagon Alley set! Something LEGO would be fine because it keeps me occupied for a bit. But I feel like I’m quite easy to buy for – I get quite excited by anything!” MIGUEL ALMIRON NEWCASTLE ALMIRON SAYS: “I love all the matches at Christmas! I’ve learned this is a big tradition in England, so the best present would be to get some wins and a couple of goals or assists.

50 SHOCK SPONSOR! There was a shock name on League One Ipswich’s squad list for 2021-22 – singer/song-writer Ed Sheeran! The lifelong fan decided to sponsor the club’s shirts for this season, so the chart-topper was handed the No.17 jersey. He’s not actually registered to play, which is probably a good thing for The Tractor Boys! 49 FELIPE’SFAIL! Lazio’s Luiz Felipe thought he was just having a bit of fun when he jumped on former team-mate Joaquin Correa’s shoulders after their Serie A win over Inter, but it didn’t go down well at all!
