Manchester United are searching for an interim manager after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday morning.
" Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season.," the club's statement read when confirming that Solskjaer had been relieved of his duties.
Solskjaer's almost three-year reign at the Reds came to an end after United lost 4-1 away to Watford at Vicarage road.
The hunt for his interim successor has now begun and Ralf Rangnick is among the names that has been linked with the job.
Rangnick met with United officials a few years back, however, speaking in February earlier this year, the German spoke about his talks with Chelsea after Frank Lampard's exit and he revealed that he doesn't consider himself as an interim coach.
"I said: 'I would like to come and work with you, but I can't do it for four months. I'm not an interim coach," Rangnick told The Times.
"To the media and players you would be the ‘four-month manager’, a lame duck, from day one.
"It would have to be something special. It depends on the club and whether you want to work with a German coach. If you watch Chelsea now, you see a mutual plan for when they have the ball or the other team have the ball.
"Thomas is tactically on a very sophisticated level."
