Man Utd: Thomas Frank claims ‘unbelievably lucky’ Red Devils were destroyed by Brentford | Football | Sport
The second-half performance was perhaps United’s best since Rangnick was appointed on an interim basis at the end of November.
His tactics and man-management has been criticised in recent weeks following a couple of underwhelming displays.
United led 2-0 at Aston Villa on Saturday, only to be pegged back to a 2-2 stalemate. But the Red Devils were clinical against Brentford and offered very few chances for the West Londoners to get back into the game after going ahead.
The only worry for Rangnick will be that star forward Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to struggle once again before his substitution in the 71st minute.
Ronaldo has at times looked uncomfortable in the high-energy pressing style that Rangnick prefers. The win was sealed by an exuberant attack and all three goalscorers have graduated from the club’s academy.
