Breaking news: Manchester United coach Reveals players who failed not to impress in their match with Norwich city and might not play for him again .
Ralf Rangnick said Manchester United
only won because of goalkeeper David
De Gea with the interim manager saying
his players' body language was not good
enough against a battling Norwich City
side.
Though United left Carrow Road with
a 1-0 win thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo
penalty, the performance was far from
one of dominance against the Premier
League's bottom side.
Rangnick afterwards said his forwards
failed to insert the intensity needed to play
his way while also praising the hosts'
performance.
'I've told Dean (Smith) that Norwich didn't
play like a bottom team,' Rangnick said
. 'In the second half we had better body
language up front but we still allowed
them to have chances. In the end it is
David De Gea who won us the game.'
Continuing on his attacking players, which
included Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford,
Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes,
Rangnick said: 'The body language,
the intensity, the aggressiveness,
especially in our offensive department
– I don't only mean the strikers but also
the two No 10s – we didn't play on the
same intensity level as we did against
Crystal Palace. But that also had to do
with the way Norwich played.'
Worryingly, Victor Lindelof needed substituting
after having trouble breathing. But Rangnick
said the centre back seemed fine following
treatment and could face Brentford on
Tuesday. 'They have done all the tests
and he seems OK,' Rangnick said.
Smith wasn't happy with the officiating
at Carrow Road.
'You don't always get what you deserve
,' said Smith, before taking aim at the
penalty won by Ronaldo and refereeing
by Darren England. 'It's soft. Is there
contact in the box? Yes. Is his arm on
his shoulder? Yes. Is it enough to make
the player go down? No.
'Generally I felt they were allowed to
dictate the game. Marcus Rashford gave
himself a free-kick in the first half.'
