Bayern Munich have reportedly set their sights on former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick if they are unsuccessful in their pursuit of Xabi Alonso. 

The German giants are locked in a head-to-head battle with Liverpool for the services of the Bayern Leverkusen boss, who has led his side to the cusp of their first-ever Bundesliga title. 

Alonso may still opt to remain at the BayArena, where he could still lift the German Cup and Europa League. 

According to German outlet Kicker, Bayern remain hopeful of replacing Thomas Tuchel with the Spaniard but they have nevertheless seen fit to identify an alternative in the event that they do not get their man this summer. 

The report goes on to claim that the club are eyeing Rangnick, who is currently in charge of Austria, following his ill-fated spell at Old Trafford.
