Reliable reporter Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Ralf Rangnick is not the favourite to take over at Manchester United, should the Red Devils part ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
As to be expected, a number of United supporters have been giving their thoughts to the news on social media.
Solskjaer’s position as manager appears to be under major threat following a 2-0 defeat to rivals Manchester City prior to the international break. Reports have suggested that United players and staff ‘believe’ the Norwegian will lose his job, with Rangnick – currently working as a director at Lokomotiv Moscow – emerging as the frontrunner to take over.

However, speaking on his YouTube channel, as relayed by The Daily Express, Romano claimed that Rangnick would want full power at Old Trafford. The 63-year-old is appreciated by the United board but is not thought to be a ‘main option’ to possibly take over from Solskjaer.
United fans react
@utdreport shared Romano’s update about Rangnick, which led to these fans giving their thoughts, with one labelling the news as ‘telling’ and another drawing comparisons with how Sir Alex Ferguson exerted total control during his time at Old Trafford.
“Crying myself to sleep, thanks a lot Fab”
“Sir Alex 2.0. The Glazers are scared.”
“he would be perfect, give him the keys then he becomes a director. Glazers will never allow it though”
“He’d fix us. Genuinely would.”
“Telling this. @ManUtd too afraid to put the football side of the club in the hands of someone with some real intelligence. Ignorance loves company I guess. What gets me is the pride, like the current regime has achieved so much over the last decade”
“He’d be perfect, but we are a banter club now”
