Ralf Rangnick tells Man Utd squad they must win all six remaining Premier League games to stay in top-four race

RALF RANGNICK says Manchester United will need six of the best to have a chance of getting into the Champions League.

The Red Devils' win over Norwich coupled with Tottenham and Arsenal losing at the weekend has revived their top-four hopes.

With Liverpool away at Anfield the first of those games it is going to be a tough ask for this under-performing team.

But Rangnick said: “It is up to us to go there and try and get three points.

“We might be underdogs but if we raise our level and put in a top performance we can get three points.

“After the results at the weekend, we are still in a race for the top four spot.

“But to stay in that race we know out of six games we need to get maximum points.

“Other teams have been dropping points but we need to show consistency.

“At the end, the team finishing fourth will be the one most committed to that.”

To get anything at quadruple chasing Liverpool, however, they are going to need to up their performance from Saturday’s 3-2 win over rock bottom Norwich.

Even in victory, Rangnick saw much to be worried about as they prepared to face a team that hammered them 5-0 at Old Trafford back in October.

He said: “As I said after the game we need to be more compact. We need to find a better balance of what we can do in possession of the ball, we need to be more aggressive, more on the front foot.

“But we have to make sure we have all the players behind the ball, this is what we need to show against one of the best teams in terms of producing chances and creating moments around the box.

“We need to be at our very best defensively.”
