# Manchester United: Fans flock to Ralf Rangnick update

**Flocking to Twitter, many Manchester United fans have erupted over a managerial update involving Ralf Rangnick.**

The German has reportedly been [linked as one of the few candidates](https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1457040408484192256) to replace under-fire boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as his tenuous position [remains in question.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16683495/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-man-utd-job-status/)

Man United’s last league outing, a [2-0 derby day defeat](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59099962) to bitter rivals Man City, arguably comes too soon after the Red Devils were also on the end of a [5-0 humiliation against Liverpool.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58943625)

Resultingly, there has been speculation as to whether Solskjaer’s days are numbered at Old Trafford and now a fresh update has emerged involving Rangnick.

According to [ESPN reporter Rob Dawson](https://www.espn.com/soccer/manchester-united-engman_utd/story/4516373/solskjaer-to-remain-man-united-manager-after-international-break-sources), while the Norwegian’s position is safe for now, United and Ed Woodward in particular see Rangnick as a ‘viable short term option’ if things change.

It is even believed that the 67-year-old has ‘impressed Woodward’ during ‘informal meetings’ in the past.

Dubbed the ‘godfather of gegenpressing’ and credited with influencing the likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp ([ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/german-bundesliga/story/4218884/ralf-rangnick-on-rb-leipzigs-success-and-being-the-godfather-of-gegenpressing)), it is little wonder fans are excited by the prospect of Rangnick as a candidate.

Find all of their best verdicts on this news down below, with one labelling a possible move as ‘perfect’.
