MUFC’s Pressing Was Exceptional In The First Half-Hour – Rangnick

Manchester United manager, Ralf Rangnick has come out to hail Cristiano Ronaldo for his work off the ball vs Crystal Palace. He recently revealed that he was very happy with his team’s general performance.

According to him, the pressing was absolutely exceptional in the first half-hour of the game and Ronaldo and his teammates definitely exceeded his expectations.

Rangnick added that MUFC had control of the entire game and the clean sheet was an icing on the cake.

His words, “I am very happy with the way the team performed, especially the first half-hour, with the pressing, it was exceptional. The only thing missing was the 1-0 or 2-0.”

“The way we defended, we had control of the whole game, the clean sheet was the most important part.”

“These are the things we must improve. We need to keep clean sheets. With just the one training session, I was really impressed. We did much better than expected.”

“We always tried to be on the front foot. We were never not apart from maybe the last five minutes. At all other times we were trying to keep them away from our goal.”

“We wanted to play with two strikers, especially in the central position. By the way, Cristiano Ronaldo’s work off the ball, chapeau.”
