Manchester United are in danger of missing the Champions League for the first time since 2018/19. For the “Red Devils” it was only enough for a happy 1: 1 (0: 0) against Leicester City. Kelechi Iheanacho (63′) initially gave the visitors the lead before Fred (66′) equalized the party again. Cristiano Ronaldo was absent due to “flu-like symptoms”, as coach Ralf Rangnick said.
Man United remain sixth on 51 points, three behind Arsenal in fourth. The Gunners have played two games fewer. Despite this, Rangnick did not give up hope of being in the “premier class”. “Losing two more points didn’t make the situation any better. It doesn’t help at all to look at the table every weekend and speculate what could happen, how many points we could need. At the moment we are definitely not the favorite for fourth place,” said the former Leipziger (quoted via “Independent“).
“But the season isn’t over yet, we still have eight games ahead of us and then it’s time to draw the right conclusions and make the right decisions for the next season,” Rangnick continued. Next, Everton FC is waiting for Manchester United, later there will be duels with Arsenal and Chelsea FC, among others. “I can’t fault the team for not trying and not making an effort. It wasn’t the result we were aiming for. But we have to admit that it was a fair result in the end. We weren’t convincing enough throughout the game to win the game.”
