A good three and a half months after taking office at English record champions Manchester United, coach Ralf Rangnick subordinates everything to success.
It wasn’t about “implementing my kind of football no matter what,” the coach told the streaming service “Amazon Prime Video” before the round of 16 second leg in the Champions League against Atlético Madrid.
First and foremost, it was important “to be successful and to score as many points as possible,” Rangnick continued. “Before I came, the team had conceded over two goals on average. It’s gotten better.” The former Bundesliga coach is currently in fifth place in the Premier League with Man United.
There are no problems in interaction with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Rangnick. “With him, it’s just that he can judge for himself what he has to do and what he doesn’t want to do in training. He still does everything, he’s recovering well, he takes care of his body. That’s why no problem,” emphasized the Swabian, who will act as interim coach until the end of the season.
