Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says he has a lot time for Manchester United counterpart Ralf Rangnick.
Newcastle meet United later tonight.
"I know he's had a huge influence on some Premier League managers who are currently active and successful in the league, and he's one of the culture change managers, really, who has brought in a lot of new ideas that a lot of people have followed," he said.
"He's a definite pioneer of the game. He's someone I've had a couple of conversations with over the years, and someone I highly respect and admire.
"I think with anyone who has his reputation in the game and some of the things that he's achieved at different clubs, it shows that his methodology works wherever he goes, so I've got no doubt he will make very instant changes to Manchester United.
"He'll bring in his own way of playing – I've already seen that in the two games they've had – and they've started to mirror him and his personality, so we expect a very tough game. I've got a lot of respect for Ralf and his work."
