# Manchester United: Fans react to Romano’s update on Ralf Rangnick

**Reliable reporter [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1458204172218687492) 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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59099962) defeat to rivals Manchester City prior to the international break. Reports have suggested that United players and staff [‘believe’](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-sack-united-25420056) the Norwegian will lose his job, with Rangnick – currently working as a director at [Lokomotiv Moscow](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ralf-rangnick/profil/trainer/196) – emerging as the [frontrunner](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/16683390/man-utd-ralf-rangnick-inspired-jurgen-klopp-gegenpressing/) to take over.

However, speaking on his YouTube channel, as relayed by [The Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1519232/Manchester-United-news-Ralf-Rangnick-Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer), 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](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1458204172218687492) 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](https://hbr.org/2013/10/fergusons-formula) during his time at Old Trafford.

**“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”**
