DBasia.news – Achieving the target of finishing in the top four, aka the Champions League zone, seems increasingly distant for Manchester United. The Red Devils have struggled to win in their last two Premier League games.
After a 1-1 draw against Leicester City at Old Trafford, United lost 0-1 at Everton’s headquarters, Goodison Park, on week 32 of the Premier League. United are now in seventh place in the standings with 51 points from 31 matches.
Harry Maguire et al are six points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place with 57 points from 31 matches. Man United are allegedly distracted or distracted by rumors of a new manager for next season.
As is known, the talk about next season at Man United is being discussed more at this time because there is no longer a target they are pursuing, after ensuring five consecutive seasons without winning a trophy.
The two favorite candidates to coach United are Mauricio Pochettino (PSG) and Erik ten Hag (Ajax Amsterdam). The rumor continues to be hot news about Man United and it is considered to disturb the player’s focus.
Ralf Rangnick disagrees. According to the interim manager, a team of Man United’s caliber should not be bothered by rumors like that, because the players are professionals. Rangnick doesn’t want to find excuses for the team’s slump.
“I don’t think (manager speculation) should be an excuse. We are Manchester United. We have a lot of international players, this cannot be an alibi or an excuse,” Rangnick said.
“We must not be bothered by that, there will be a new manager next season. If this is announced now or in 10, or 14, or in 20 days, it should have no effect on games like this today.”
Rangnick also resigned when asked about Man United’s chance to get into the top four of the Premier League.
“We depend on other results, but as long as we don’t win our own games, we will never get good results from other teams,” Rangnick added.
“The only thing we can do is stick together. That’s all we can do and prepare for the game against Norwich,” he explained.
