Manchester (AP) – In the first defeat since taking office, Manchester United presented itself again from the point of view of interim coach Ralf Rangnick as in the weeks before he took office.
The English record champions suffered a serious setback at home with the 0-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers and are currently only seventh in the Premier League, 22 points behind leaders Manchester City.
“If, looking at today’s performance, I say that we are 100 percent convinced that we will finish fourth, I don’t know whether people believe that,” said Rangnick on Monday evening with a view to the race for the Champions League. Places. “I knew it was going to be difficult. That’s why they came for me,” added the 63-year-old.
It was clear to him that it would not be easy to find a balance between offensive and defensive. “We showed the same problems as the team had three or four weeks before I came,” said Rangnick, who succeeds Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer. Most recently there was an upswing with eight games without a loss. It is not easy to develop a DNA with and without a ball, explained Rangnick. “Today’s game showed that there are still a few steps left to go.”
The hosts were unlucky when Bruno Fernandes struck the crossbar after 67 minutes, after which Joao Moutinho scored the winning goal for Wolverhampton in the 81st minute.
