Ralf Rangnick: Manchester United need to be more nasty

By Daily Sports on February 13, 2022

Man Utd held to 1-1 draw by Southampton; Ralf Rangnick: "The question is how do we get more compact, more aggressive and even more nasty"; Ralph Hasenhuttl: "It is not a big secret that when they lose the ball that the reverse gears are not always the best from everybody"

A year on from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer overseeing a 9-0 win against Saints at an empty Old Trafford, his interim successor saw the Red Devils squander Jadon Sancho's first-half goal on Saturday lunchtime.

Che Adams fired home an impressive equaliser shortly after half-time and Saints had chances to snatch a rare win at United, whose profligacy in front of goal led to a third successive match ending 1-1.

Rangnick rejected Scholes' comments, saying it is more about the group's mentality.

"I think what Paul Scholes said was only one third of what he said - I think he said three different options," said Rangnick.

"I don't think that the players are not willing to do that, because they don't like to give away points like the ones they gave away today again.

"It was the third game where we were 1-0 up and I don't think anyone out there should believe that the players don't care, that they like to experience things like that today consecutively. This is definitely not the case.

"The question is with the group of players we have, how do we get more compact, more aggressive and even more nasty, it's about defending a lead. This is the major issue but it's not a question of the players not wanting to do that."
