Manchester United: Ralf Rangnick on Mason Greenwood
Ralf Rangnick asked if the police investigation has distracted: “In fact, we had a good normal week of training with five training sessions including today’s training. Obviously it was a topic within the team but they’re human beings and Mason [Greenwood] was part of the group before we had our break. It was a good week of training, we could train under normal circumstances and we are looking forward to the game tomorrow.”
Rangnick asked if Mason Greenwood influenced MUFC’s decision to keep Jesse Lingard: “In a way, yes, but the club told me, the board told me, they couldn’t find an agreement with any clubs interested in him.”

“With the window closing Monday evening the board informed me they would rather he stay, so I could understand and accept. It was two things. We had a problem with Mason Greenwood and being without a player for the time being who hasn’t played in weeks and the club not finding an agreement with another club.”
Manchester United: January Transfer Window:
“The group was slightly too big, we had too many players not seeing the chance to get regular playing time, this is why I’m happy for the club. Donny [van de Beek], Anthony [Martial], and Amad deserve regular game time, I wish them all the best. Amad has already played and scored in his first game and I’m pretty sure Donny [van de Beek] and Martial will do well at Sevilla and Everton and I hope they come back in good form.”

“Eric Bailly came back yesterday, he has some problems with his ankle and will not be part of the squad. Luke [Shaw] will be playing [against Middlesbrough] because Alex Telles played 90 minutes for Brazil.”
Manchester United: Ralf Rangnick on Mauricio Pochettino
Rangnick on Mauricio Pochettino: “I have no idea. My full focus is on training the group right now, we have games coming up in three different competitions, I couldn’t give any reasonable answer to that question, my focus is on the next couple of games, weeks and months.”
