EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United’s interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, has credited the patience his players showed for their win over West Ham United in the English Premier League (EPL) on Saturday.
Marcus Rashford’s late winner ensured that David Moyes left Old Trafford with a bitter pill to swallow.

Speaking to Sky Sports at full-time, Rangnick explained how enjoyable it was to win the game in the final stages on top of a clean sheet.
“If you score in the last second of the game that is the best type of wins, a clean sheet. I think in the end we deserved to win. It takes patience to play West Ham. A few moments at the end I wished we would have passed the ball instead of shooting from wherever.
“Bearing in mind we played a few days ago against Brentford, the team looked physically good. We knew it would take patience, the way we played defensively, won balls back, I was really happy with that.
“I am very pleased the three subs prepared the goal and scored the goal. All were involved. That makes it even more important. I would love to have those two points from Villa Park, but with 17 points now we are pleased.”
United may now be fourth but Tottenham (three) and Arsenal (two) have games in hand despite being only two and three points behind Rangnick’s side, respectively.
However, if United win their game in hand on third-placed Chelsea, they would be just three points behind the third-placed Blues.
