Flocking to Twitter, a number of Manchester United fans have erupted over a claim involving manager Ralf Rangnick amid speculation regarding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian is back under mounting pressure at Old Trafford after they succumbed to a 2-0 derby day defeat at home to bitter rivals Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's side took the bragging rights across Manchester with an early Eric Bailly own goal and a Bernardo Silva strike ultimately securing their deserved win.

Barring a snapshot from Cristiano Ronaldo, Ederson was never truly threatened in the City goal, and United's manner of defeat has placed yet more question marks on Solskjaer's future at the club.

The Red Devils boss is rapidly running out of time to get the very best out of his star-studded squad as more managerial rumours emerge after yesterday's loss.

According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, a reputable German source, out-of-work manager Ralf Rangnick is apparently interested in taking the job at Old Trafford.

Credited with being the godfather of gegenpressing, influencing the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann (ESPN), he emerges as an interesting option should the club decide to sack Solskjaer.

Flocking to this claim, it's safe to say that many United fans are excited as Rangnick's name enters contention, with one supporter believing that it would be a "big" appointment - check out some of their best verdicts below.

"He would be class. Get him in and see what it looks like to have a true tactician of the game. Pressing triggers, move the ball quick from front to back, recruitment, etc. he’d be perfect."
