Rangnick also admitted that Erik ten Hag has 'a lot of work' to do at Old Trafford.

"For me, even before the game it was not very likely, but after today's result it is gone, yes," Rangnick told BT SPORT.

"There is a lot of work to do here for sure, he [Ten Hag] knew that even before the game.

"But we showed what kind of football that we can play. "
