Ralf Rangnick is reportedly on his way to Old Trafford as interim manager, which has Manchester United fans overwhelmed by United’s decision to land him.
It is known that both parties have reached an agreement, but Lokomotiv Moscow must still reach an agreement, which is not expected to be a problem.
As they hurried to identify Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s replacement, United looked to be associated with just about every manager in the world.
The iconic Norwegian left the club after a disastrous start to the season, with the Old Trafford leadership pulling the plug after a humiliating 4-1 loss to Watford.
In the Red Devils’ 2-0 win over Villareal, Michael Carrick took over as interim manager, ensuring their progression to the next round of the Champions League.
Here are the fan’s reactions to Rangnick’s appointment as the new interim manager:

Quality interim manager but Rangnick being our DOF is sooo good man. Finally appointing the best in the business for off the pitch roles

Rangnick is the perfect choice for the interim position. They just better keep him on for the long term as he's a fantastic operator. A solid pick from Man Utd.

Even if Rangnick is named manager, it is expected that he will not be in command in time for the match against Chelsea this weekend. Fans are pleased not just because of his temporary appointment, but also because of his future consulting role.
Supporters have long believed that not enough football people are involved with Manchester United’s decision-makers, so if it all works out, it will be a positive step forward.
