Sky Sports' Paul Merson said that Manchester United's appointment of an interim boss was lazy.
Since the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United had been without a loss under the leadership of Rangnick. They were beaten by Bruno Lage's Wolves on Monday evening.
Merson thinks that United should re-think their managerial position and act fast if they want to get anything from this season.
After another poor night for Manchester United, read on for the Sky Sports pundit's verdict.
Ronaldo changed Man Utd's plan.
The captain of Manchester United was the Portuguese player.
My opinion on Manchester United hasn't changed since day one. It won't change either.
They had a plan. They were going to play counter-attacking football with pace and energy, but when they signed a player of the same caliber, it all went out the window.
The football is not fast. You are asked to get around the pitch and play against four players, who you are asking to play with.

In the Super Sunday studio in November, Roy and Jamie disagreed about the role of the Manchester United player in the team.
Scott McTominay has been their best player, but Matic can't play anymore. He's not the player he used to be, and against Wolves they were passed to death.
They were slaughtered.
The two in the middle for Wolves, Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho, ran the show.
Man Utd 0-1 Wolves.
The teams lined up.
It was embarrassing for United.

Jamie Redknapp and Paul Ince pick holes in the Manchester United defence.
It was not good for Manchester United. Embarrassment.
I'd go as far as to be cringeworthy watching the game. The players were doing whatever they wanted and United had no plan. They were playing their own game.
They wouldn't have scored if they had played five passes.
I've never seen anything like it before. It's worrying. Man Utd were ripped to shreds by Wolves at Old Trafford.
I know people will say they hit the bar and Jose Sa made a good save, but surely Man Utd should make more than just two chances a game, especially at home.
It is not good. It really isn't!

United have flattered to deceive.

The performance of the Manchester United side was very disappointing according to the man.
Let's be honest, it was really bad, but look at the games they've had. They have flattered to deceive and won games.
They went to Norfolk and won with a penalty byRonaldo, but they should have won the game. Since that game, they've been all over the place.
They were lucky to get a draw at St James' Park. How lucky were they in that game? Everyone thought Man Utd were back, but I didn't think so. They had lots of chances and if they had better quality in the final third, they would have caused problems.
United never looked like scoring against Wolves. Wolves are good defensively, but United are a million miles off.
You need someone to be special. Manchester United have been lazy. They did not appoint a full-time manager.

'United now need someone special'
Everyone told me that Rangnick was the one, but he hadn't worked with these players before. He has not worked with this standard of player.
These players want to get to the lower club and will listen if I say I'm going there. The players are there.
You need someone to be special.
Manchester United have been lazy. They did not appoint a full-time manager. This is Manchester United. It is the largest club in the world. Go and do something. It's lazy to bring someone in for six months.
They were two clubs that were down at the bottom. He has not come in with a record of winning a lot of things.
Everyone is talking about the pressing. We were pressing in 1989. The great teams of the 70s and 80s were all pressing. They were closing people down.
You can't tell me that the United side is pressing.
Moutinho is 35 years old and he ran the show at Old Trafford. He was not tackled in the entire game. I mean, seriously!
There is something going on.

In their loss to Wolves, the Manchester United side gave away a lot of possession.
There is something happening at United. I don't know what it is, that's not my job, but they need to sort it out lively because this was a huge opportunity.
They need to finish in the top four. It's not working at the moment, but they should get top four.
They have had some good games, but it is not like they have been impressive.
I worry for them because their confidence has completely gone. They need to sort it out quickly because this was terrible.
Who will be next for United? They need to act quickly.
Following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal, Antonio Conte moved to Spurs.
They missed the boat with Antonio.
It was lazy from united that they didn't go for him.
The Spurs are a different team. How can you not listen to a man like Conte? He's won the league everywhere he's been. He doesn't mess about when he comes in.
For just six months, Rangnick is united. What can he do in that time?
He can't tell the players they aren't good enough. The players think that he has six months to find a new manager and they will just have a kick around.
That's the problem.
Go and buy a manager.
Could Man Utd speed up their search for a permanent manager? The Paris Saint-Germain boss has been linked with the job.
They are from Manchester. They are the biggest football club in the world.
They have money so buy a manager. They buy wingers for a lot of money. They give players who make over 36 million dollars a week. If you are doing that, you should buy a manager.
The biggest thing at a football club is a manager, and we've seen that with Thomas Tuchel when he was hired by the Blues. They win the European League.
It is one of the things I don't like about football. It's all about money, transfers and bringing in players, but nobody ever pays the big bucks to get a manager.
If they do, everyone is talking about how much they cost, but if you don't have a manager, you aren't winning anything.
Manchester United needs to act quickly.
