Ronaldo saves his team: Rangnick sees the spectacle of Man United

Ronaldo saves his team
Rangnick sees spectacle from Man United

Ralf Rangnick is not yet allowed to sit on the Manchester United bench, but he is watching his new team in the stadium for the first time from the stands. The game should have at least excited the neutral viewer – and all supporters of Cristiano Ronaldo.

In front of the new coach Ralf Rangnick, Manchester United achieved an important home win in the Premier League. The English soccer champions won 3: 2 (1: 1) against Arsenal on Thursday evening. Rangnick, who is to be officially presented at a press conference on Friday, saw the competitive and entertaining game from the grandstand at Old Trafford and made some notes. As seventh in the table, Man United are still twelve points behind the leaders.

The two Portuguese Bruno Fernandes (44th minute) and Cristiano Ronaldo (52nd / 70th penalty kick) scored in front of their own audience to a narrow victory for the Red Devils, who were again coached by assistant coach Michael Carrick. Arsenal first took the lead through Emile Smith Rowe (13th). Martin Ödegaard (54th) scored to compensate for the guests from London.

Smith Rowe’s goal came about in a curious way. United pro Fred accidentally kicked teammate and goalkeeper David De Gea on the foot in a corner for Arsenal. De Gea went down in pain. After the ball was first cleared by Harry Maguire, Smith Rowe shot it past the lying De Gea into the empty goal. After viewing the video evidence, the referee gave the hit.

Rangnick had received the necessary work permit for his engagement as interim coach on Thursday, as Man United announced. However, she came too late for the game against Arsenal. Rangnick, who will coach the team until the summer and then act as a consultant for Man United for two years, will now make his debut on the sidelines on Sunday in the home game against Crystal Palace.
