Man Utd star ‘had to GOOGLE who Ralf Rangnick was when he became boss after not knowing who ex-RB Leipzig chief was’
A MANCHESTER United player allegedly had to GOOGLE who Ralf Rangnick was when he was named as the club's new boss.
The 63-year-old replaced former Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last November .

But Rangnick was not the high-profile name that many at Old Trafford hoped would be given the role - with both Zinedine Zidane and current Tottenham boss Antonio Conte heavily linked with the job.
And it's been claimed that at-least one bewildered United star had to resort to the popular search engine Google to find out who the incoming German was,
Ogden also claims that there may have been more United players who flocked to Google to check out Rangnick's credentials - but wasn't able to confirm if this was the case.
The Red Devils have been out of sorts recently - and the members of the team not recognising Rangnick's credentials could play a part in their poor form, Ogden alleges.
This sentiment was echoed by ex-Arsenal winger Perry Groves who thinks that United's current crop have no faith in the ex-Hoffenheim boss.

After witnessing United fall apart in their 1-0 loss to Wolves last night, Groves said: "The players, you can tell that they're not having Rangnick.
"You can tell that they're not convinced by him. They're not actually putting the effort in they should be."
Red Devils legend Paul Ince carried on the onslaught by claiming that his former side haven't made any progress with the German at the helm.
It's not the first time Rangnick's credentials have come under scrutiny.
He was being touted as AC Milan's next boss last year which led to Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruthlessly admitting that he didn't even know who the 63-year-old was when asked by Italian media.
Rangnick was also dismissed as the 'biggest fraud in Russian history' by the country's media when he left Lokomotiv Moscow to take over at Old Trafford.
But despite being relatively unknown by players and critics, Rangnick's got some heavy hitters in his corner in the form of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel who were both inspired by the former Schalke boss.
