Who is Ralf Rangnick? Latest betting odds on next Manchester United manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have survived another weekend despite a dismal result against Manchester City - but the speculation around when and by whom he might be replaced continues apace.

Brendan Rogers, Zinedine Zidane and Mauricio Pochettino have consistently topped the betting odds for his replacement as Unit results have continued to slide over the last few weeks - with even Cristiano Ronaldo still featuring as an outsider at the bookies.

Ralf Rangnick has crept up the table to fourth favourite this week, with OddsChecker showing his odds have shortened to 10/1 with SkyBet and 9/1 at William Hill. While Rogers, Zidane and Pochettino remain ahead of Rangnick at the bookies, their odds have all drifted this week.

German Rangnick works in Russia as head of development at FC Lokomotiv Moscow, where he signed a three-year contract in July, and has been in coaching since the 1980s.

He was formerly coach at RB Leipzig and Schalke and, unlike Rogers who dismissed speculation over a United link last month, is said to be interested in a move to Old Trafford, according to German publication Bild’s football writer Christian Falk.

Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp is an admirer of Rangnick’s tactical style and he has been hailed him as an influence on his managerial style.

Current odds on 9 November, according to OddsChecker are:

Brendan Rogers: 10/11

Zinedine Zidane: 6/1

Mauricio Pochettino: 8/1

Ralf Rangnick: 10.1

Erik ten Hag: 10/1

Cristiano Ronaldo: 20/1
