The Red Devils have held advanced talks with the 63-year-old, and it is expected he will soon be announced as a short-term replacement for sacked former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has been on United's radar, that the Ligue 1 giants knocked back an initial enquiry, although Rangnick will steer the ship until the end of the season.

GOAL sources say the former Tottenham boss is keen to make the move to Old Trafford and would have been open to leaving PSG in the middle of the season.
