Carrow Road: The new interim manager of Manchester United Ralf Rangnick, the successor of Ole Gunner, seemed unhappy with the performance of his team despite the victory against Norwich City on Saturday night.
And in the meantime, the intensity in the locker room was far higher.”BREAKING SCENES inside the Man Utd Dressing room as Ralf Rangnick has just slapped every player in the room. It is believed Lee Grant has been slapped as well without even being in the matchday squad. Maguire started crying”, as stated on United Zone Twitter handle.
Manchester United only survived due to goalkeeper David De Gea, according to interim manager Ralf Rangnick, who also felt his players’ body language was not good enough against a tough Norwich City team. Rangnick afterward said his forwards failed to insert the intensity needed to play his way while also praising the hosts’ performance.
”I’ve told Dean (Smith) that Norwich didn’t play like a bottom team,’ Rangnick said. ”In the second half we had better body language up front but we still allowed them to have chances. In the end it is David De Gea who won us the game,” he added.
However, after Ernest Mangnall in 1903, Ralf Rangnick became the second Manchester United manager to keep a clean sheet in his first two league games in charge.

After beating Crystal Palace 1-0 at Old Trafford last weekend, the Red Devils won 1-0 against Norwich City, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty proving pivotal in the second half.
United have climbed to fifth place in the Premier League table, and while there is still much work to be done at Old Trafford, the Red Devils appear to be breaking out of their early-season slump.
