(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick on Monday urged his side to display more defensive solidity ahead of a crucial run-in that will determine Champions League qualification and likely define his tenure as interim boss.
Rangnick, who succeeded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November last year, has struggled to turn around United's season following a dismal start, with the team three points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur in fourth.
"For sure, we need to be more compact, more aggressive... this is what we need to show tomorrow against a team that is probably one of the best in creating moments which they can be dangerous from in and around the box. We need to be at our very best defensively." "Although we might be the underdogs for most people, we still know that if we raise our level, if we play a top performance, then we have a chance to get three points. This will be our ambition and goal for tomorrow," he added.
"Yes, he was training with the team, obviously the accident happened on the way to Carrington. As far as I know, no one was injured. He was okay and he'll be okay for tomorrow," he said.
