Manchester United ‘Not Favourites’ For Top Four – Coach Rangnick
Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick said they are “not favourites” to finish in the Premier League’s top four after a 1-1 draw against Leicester City at Old Trafford, slipping to seventh on the table.
The Red Devils are three points outside the top four with eight games left in the 2021/2022 Premier League season.
“It doesn’t help at all to look at the table every weekend and speculate and anticipate what might happen, how many points might we need,” Rangnick said in an interview. “Right now we are not the favourites, for sure, for number four.”
“I’m not a fortune teller, so I don’t know where Manchester United will be next season. For us, it’s my job, our job to finish the season on the highest and best possible note,” Rangnick added.
United play at Everton on Saturday and Rangnick said getting the three points was their only focus.
“The season is not over. We still have another eight games to play and I think then it’s time to draw the right conclusions and take the right decisions for next season,” Rangnick said.
“Right now, it’s about how can we possibly get three points against Everton.”
