Ralf Rangnick responds to Manchester United fan asking to sign Erling Haaland, Declan Rice and Jules Kounde

Ralf Rangnick told a Manchester United fan that he is ‘dreaming’ after being asked if the club will sign Erling Haaland, Declan Rice and Jules Kounde this summer.

The footage of Rangnick’s interaction with the supporter emerged after United’s goalless draw with Watford at Old Trafford.

The result has kept United in fourth place but Arsenal are just two points behind with three games in hand. United could also be overtaken by Tottenham as Antonio Conte’s side are five points behind but have two games in hand.

United fans are already calling for more investment in the squad following another season of inconsistent performances.

But when one supporter proposed to Rangnick that the club should go for Kounde, the Sevilla centre-back who was close to joining Chelsea last year, Rice, who is wanted by both United and Chelsea, and Haaland, who is set to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer, the German replied: ‘What are you dreaming?’

Rangnick’s response was met with laughter from the fan, while the United manager continued to sign shirts.

Speaking in January, Rangnick suggested that strengthening United’s midfield would be one of his priorities.

‘It doesn’t help if there is a profile missing,’ said Rangnick.
