Manchester United need to restore historic strength and Ralf Rangnick knows it

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Ralf Rangnick is starting to recognise positive signs of development at Manchester United, despite poor recent results. The Reds have drawn each of their last two matches against Burnley and Middlesbrough but nevertheless, the German coach has spotted underlying improvements.

According to United's interim boss, the issue at hand relates to finishing. His team have performed reasonably well in recent contests, but they simply haven't managed to convert their shots into goals. "I think we are creating enough chances in the last couple of games but we just didn't score enough goals," he said. "This is not only an issue with Cristiano, it's an issue with the other players, especially the offensive players." He continued: "If you bear in mind how many chances we create, this is something that needs to get better in the next couple of weeks." His comments appear accurate once assessing the club's last two games.

Rangnick's men have posted a total of 52 shots but they have scored just two goals, which conflicts with one of the team's well-known strengths over the past few years.

United haven't always showcased consistent performances but regardless of their struggles, they have typically proved to be ruthless when presented with opportunities to score.
