Manchester United ‘not favourites’ for top four, says Ralf Rangnick

Ralf Rangnick said they are “not favourites” to finish in the Premier League’s top four subsequent to slipping to seventh with a 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

The Old Trafford club are three points outside the main four with eight games left.

“It doesn’t help at all to look at the table every weekend and speculate and anticipate what might happen, how many points might we need. Right now we are not the favourites, for sure, for number four,” said Ralf Rangnick.

“I’m not a fortune teller, so I don’t know where Manchester United will be next season. For us, it’s my job, our job to finish the season on the highest and best possible note,” he added.

Joined play at Everton on Saturday and Rangnick said getting the three points was their main focus.

“The season is not over. We still have another eight games to play and I think then it’s time to draw the right conclusions and take the right decisions for next season,” he added.
