Man Utd boss RR Blast Players After Frustrating Result Vs Burnley

Ralf Rangnick Manchester United Interim Coach has admitted that his side were not good enough after they slipped out of the Premier League top four with a 1-1 draw against relegation-battling Burnley yesterday.

EKOHOTBLOG reports that the player has come under serious criticism after the match. United dominated the first half at Turf Moor but, after two strikes were ruled out, had only Paul Pogba’s first league goal in over a year to show for it.

This is coming after Friday’s FA Cup exit at the hands of Middlesbrough, it was another frustrating night for United, whose problems remain obvious at both ends of the pitch 12 games into Rangnick’s interim reign.

The German criticized first the players and the officials for disallowing Raphael Varane header because Harry Maguire had been offside, then a Josh Brownhill own goal, because Pogba had fouled Erik Pieters in the build-up, but accepted his side, had not done enough.

Rangnick was particularly unhappy to see the Brownhill own goal ruled out, adding: “In particular, the second one that was disallowed, I watched it right now in the locker room. The linesman flagged for a foul but he flagged 10 seconds after that incident. This was a very soft decision, I must say.

“But again we played an excellent first half, I thought. We totally dominated the game, scored three goals but two were disallowed.

“Then in the second half, for the first 10 to 15 minutes, we were just not aggressive enough. It was clear they would come out after the break-in a more aggressive way to play but we were not aggressive in those 15 minutes. We gave away the goal.

“We had a very good counter-attacking situation 30 seconds before we conceded the goal and the way that we allowed them to score, we did not defend the whole situation well.”

Man Utd interim boss Ralf Rangnick: “At the end, it is a frustrating evening for us because we should have won that game easily after the first half, but were not decisive enough as we were in the first half. In the end, one point for a performance like this is just not enough”
