UCL: They don’t obey instructions – Rangnick slams Man Utd players

Man Utd new interim coach Ralf Rangnick seems to be angry after his side poor performance against Young Boys in the UCL on Wednesday night.

The game ended in a 1-1 draw, and Rangnick, in a post-match statement slammed the Red Devils players as he stressed that they don’t obey instructions.

Rangnick stressed that the players did not play exactly the way he told them to play.

He stated that the players ignored his instructions to play more direct football.

Since the Red Devils had already booked their place in the last 16 of the UCL, their interim made rotations in the squad vs the Swedes club.

The game started with Mason Greenwood scoring a goal in the first half, but they soon gave away possession to the visitors, who scored an equaliser thanks to Fabian Rieder.

Speaking to BT Sport afterwards, Rangnick explained, “What was really a little bit annoying was the way that we also gave the goal away, because we played too many balls into the first line of their pressing area.

“And this was also the case with the goal that we conceded. We could have cleared the ball easily and whenever we played the ball into the second or third line, we were always dangerous.

“I told them that before the game but they still played in that situation, the ball a five-metre pass and [Young Boys] were just waiting for that ball. It was more or less a pressing invitation that we sent.”
