EPL: I don’t like those kinds of balls – Rangnick warns Fred, McTominay

New Manchester United boss, Ralf Rangnick, has revealed what he did not like about the performances of Fred and Scott McTominay during the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The holding midfield duo put in a decent shift at Old Trafford, with the Brazilian bagging the only goal of the game.

Rangnick however wants Fred and McTominay to eradicate some sloppy square passes from their game.

“If you play the way that we played today, with regard to intensity, being on the front foot, playing very proactively, and having four offensive players ahead of Scotty and Fred – with Jadon, Bruno, Cristiano and Marcus – it’s highly important that you have players who are very disciplined, who are proactively aggressive against the ball.

“And both Scotty and Fred are almost perfect defensively on that. They did one or two or three mistakes, especially in the first half there were two square passes – one from Scott, one from Fred.

“I don’t like those kinds of balls in midfield in those positions. But overall, when the other team is in possession of the ball, both Fred and Scotty they are almost perfect for that kind of football,” Rangnick said after the game.
