Ralf Rangnick press conference

Ralf Rangnick spoke on Manchester United's performance at Villa and gave an update on the fitness of players, he also gave a special shoutout to Paul Pogba.

"If I compare our two games, in the cup and in the league, we did a lot better in the league game at Villa Park. The performance in the first 70 minutes was really good, I liked our movements, I liked our game in possession of the ball, the structure of the game, the way that we pressed, even when we had to defend our own box, we did that well. We need to have a similar performance tomorrow against Brentford."

"Cristiano and Marcus were training yesterday, so I suppose they will also be training today, but at the press conference before the Villa game, I was also convinced that Cristiano would be available and in the end, he wasn't."

"In [Paul Pogba's] first training session he showed what kind of an extraordinary player he could be."
