EPL: Bruno Fernandes Heaps Praise On Rangnick, Says Team Have ‘More Identity’ Under Interim Boss

• Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has claimed the team now has ‘more identity’ under the interim manager, Ralf Rangnick.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the German interim boss has a contract that runs until the end of the season and is expected to be retained in some capacity at Old Trafford for a further two years.

Ralf Rangnick replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November and has overseen a recovery in the Premier League, picking up 25 points from 12 games to take Man Utd from sixth to fourth. In that same period, only leaders Manchester City have accumulated more points than Manchester United.

Despite United’s improvement in the league, rumours of displeasure in the dressing room have continued to circulate, inciting several players including Marcus Rashford and captain Harry Maguire to speak out.

EKO HOT BLOG recently reported that they were cliques within the first team and players struggling to adapt to Rangnick’s methods, but Fernandes dismissed the reports and highlighted the side’s unity in Sunday’s 4-2 win over Leeds.

“We have to follow what the manager and staff think is the best way for us. Here at this club I have never heard anyone complain about the tactics and I hope no one would do,

” Fernandes told reporters ahead of United’s trip to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

“That doesn’t respect the coach’s ideas because I think we have been doing so well since he arrived. We have more identity as a team.”

He added: “I don’t know what people mean by [these stories] honestly. I was doing an interview and they asked me about Jadon [Sancho] doing my celebration. I don’t think that is something that is going in different ways.

“I saw the goal of [Maguire] and I’m seeing Paul [Pogba] behind him sliding on his knees. I was slapping [Maguire’s] head and saying ‘how can you score with that big head?’

“So, I think honestly it’s just people trying to complain and make up stories about this club because we know when someone talks about us they go around the world with their voice and that’s something they want.

“For us, it means nothing. We stick to the plan and we stick together. That’s the main thing – sticking together and winning together.”
