Manchester United news: Ralf Rangnick encourages Red Devils to take 'next step' following poor form

Three consecutive draws have seen Manchester United drop to fifth in the Premier League and crash out of the FA Cup.
While the Red Devils may have only lost once under Ralf Rangnick's tenure, their form has left plenty of room for improvement.
The defence has certainly improved from their shaky start to the season, but lapses of concentration have cost them dearly in recent weeks.
In fact, Manchester United's last three games have all followed a similar pattern - taking a first half lead before conceding in the second and settling for a 1-1 draw.
The first of the three stalemates came against Middlesbrough in the FA cup, with the Teeside outfit going on to win via penalties.
Two further draws followed in the league, with second half collapses against Burnley and Southampton costing United four vital points in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.
While performances have certainly improved under new management, United for one reason or another can't seem to see games off, and it's an alarming trait Rangnick is eager to fix.
🗣 "The first halves in the last couple of weeks have been really good — we didn't concede a single goal," says Ralf.

"The next step is to stay focused; physically, mentally and tactically. We have given away goals too easily." 🔴#MUFC | #MUNBHA
