Ralf Rangnick’s solution to Manchester United set-piece problems could be right under his nose

To say Manchester United's opposition is more likely to score off a counter-attack from one of their corners than they are to score themselves is not an understatement; it's a fact.

But you can not wholly put the blame on the shoulders of Ramsey as United last scored from a corner against Sheffield United in January of 2021.

United's interim manager Ralf Rangnick was recently asked about United ineffectiveness from corners, and he said: "In the end, this is a question of training time but is also a question of deliveries.

"And this is really a little bit weird, to be honest, because we have players who should be technically able to deliver the balls in the right way.

"But we still have to work on that and we still need to improve in those areas. At least we scored a goal after a free-kick against Villa.
