According to the latest reports Rangnick is expected to go back to one of his former sides to secure his first Manchester United signing.

Manchester United fans agreed that a midfield signing was needed

Even though Manchester United looked to have had an outstanding previous transfer window under former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, fans still felt there was something missing.

Although many midfield names were branded about by the media, including the likes Eduardo Camavinga, Ruben Neves, Saul Niguez and Declan Rice, under the tutelage of Solskjaer, none of the above were seen signing for Manchester United. Now it is thought that Rangnick has also identified that position as the first he would like to rectify at the club. His target, however, is not one of the names mentioned above, nor is it one ever linked to the Red Devils before. 

Rangnick wants Haidara’s

According to widespread reports in Europe Rangnick is targeting his former midfielder at RB Leipzig to help him solve the midfield problem at the club. The player in question Amadou Haidara, and the Daily Mail UK even goes as far as claiming that Manchester United are scheduled to watch him in action Union Berlin and Manchester City.

If Haidara’s past comments are anything to go by then Rangnick won’t even have to do any convincing to get him to sign on the dotted line for Manchester United. In 2019 he didn’t mince his words at all, while explaining his desire to one day turn out for the Red Devils.

“My dream club is Manchester United, I will fight with all my strength to one day play for that club.” Haidara told Foot Mali.  Now with all the rumours floating around and intensifying daily, it seems as if Rangnick maybe about to make his dreams finally come true.
