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 to replace under-fire boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as his tenuous position remains in question. 

Man United's last league outing, a 2-0 derby day defeat 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.

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, 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), it is little wonder fans are excited by the prospect of Rangnick as a candidate.
