Despite not having an unblemished performance, Ralf Rangnick’s Manchester United tenure got-off to a perfect start after the Red Devils’ one-nil victory over Crystal Palace. Manchester United looked a much better team than they were under former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The home team pressed better; their counter-pressing was sensational especially in the thirty minutes of the game and they were much more organized.
Encouraging early signs from United! 📈
Keep pressing, lads 👊#MUFC | #MUNCRY
