Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick is calling on the players to “stick to the gameplan”.
Rangnick, ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Southampton, was asked about reports of the squad being unhappy with his training methods.
He said, “I have nothing to say. I haven’t read any newspapers, or know about those articles, the way the team has developed is obvious tactically, due to the work we’ve been doing in training.
“It’s important the players have also realise that development in the last couple of weeks in and out of possession of the ball. If we concede a goal, against Middlesbrough, it was after 60 minutes, and Burnley was 50 minutes, we should stick to the gameplan and not lose shape or composure.
“This was the most harmful part, we didn’t have the same positioning on the pitch. If the other team scores a goal in football, we have to be aware of why we were so dominant and lose structure, lose shape, this was obvious for 20 minutes against Burnley. It got better at the end but in those 15 mins we lost that shape.”
