# Manchester United: Red Devils fans go wild for Ernesto Valverde update

**Flocking to Twitter, many Manchester United fans have gone wild for a managerial update involving former Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde.**

It has only been a few days since the Red Devils officially parted company with former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a move which was arguably long in the making given their dismal run of results.

A humiliating [4-1 loss away to Watford](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABOGn25PV7M) cemented the Norwegian’s fate after equally humbling losses at home to rivals [Liverpool and Manchester City.](https://www.manutd.com/en/matches/fixtures-results)

Much has been made of who will come into replace Solskjaer as a managerial update emerges involving ex-Catalans boss Valverde.

Indeed, as per [Jamie Jackson,](https://twitter.com/guardian_sport/status/1463184606740590600) United have now made contact over potentially appointing the 57-year-old on an interim basis until the end of 2021/2022.

According to his information, talks have already been held with Red Devils chief John Murtough as the club eye him as a temporary solution to fill the role.

### Man United fans go wild…

Erupting over this claim, plenty of fans are excited on Twitter to say the least – and they may have a reason to be judging by his managerial record.

A [five-time title winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ernesto-valverde/erfolge/trainer/1559) across two different clubs in Barca and Greek giants Olympiacos, footballing superstar Lionel Messi has also [previously praised](https://www.givemesport.com/1461807-lionel-messi-heaps-praise-onto-ernesto-valverde-for-tactics-in-41-real-betis-victory) the Spaniard’s tactical game plans.

A free agent also, meaning his appointment would be of little cost to United, it’s little wonder some supporters believe this update comes as a ‘perfect’ one.
