While Manchester United are yet to confirm Ralf Rangnick as new manager, the German will reportedly be on a huge top four bonus should he be appointed.

The Daily Star says Rangnick, currently technical director of Lokomotiv Moscow, will be as adamant as anyone he is not just a mere gatekeeper for Manchester United's new permanent boss during his interim spell in charge.

The German coach looks set to be confirmed as United's short-term replacement for the sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on an initial six-month deal.

Rangnick is said to have rejected an initial offer before eventually agreeing to new terms amid United's failed pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino.

While Rangnick is only stepping in to keep the seat warm, he could be well rewarded financially if his brief Old Trafford tenure proves to be a success.

The 63-year-old's contract includes 'huge' bonus clauses if he is able to secure a top four finish and/or win the Champions League.
