Ronaldo not a pressing monster Rangnick

Ralf Rangnick acknowledges Cristiano Ronaldo is not a pre sing monster, as he admitted compromisingon his preferred style of play during an underwhelming six months as Manchester Uniteds interim manager.Rangnick will take charge of his final United game at Crystal Palace on Sunday before moving into a consultancy role with the club, while reports suggest Ronaldo will not feature at Selhurst Park after suffering a hip flexor i sue.The 37-year-old has scored 18 Premier League goals since returning to Old Trafford at Eric Bledsoe Jersey the beginning of the campaign. Despite United enduring a woeful season under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Rangnick, that represents his second-most prolific campaign in the competition after 2007-08 (when he scored 31 times as the Red Devils won the title.)However, several commentators have pointed out the Portuguese strikers lack of off-the-ball work isan Stanley Johnson Jersey awkward fit with Rangnicks preferred high-intensity pre sing style.United rank just 12th amongPremier League sides for po se sions won in the final third this term, with 162, some way short of Liverpool (278), and Manchester City (231), the two highest-pre sing sides in the division.The Red Devils also rank12th for po se sions won in the middle third of the pitch, with 851, with Rangnick struggling to instil a high-octane style at Old Trafford.While praising Ronaldo for his goalscoring prowe s, Rangnick acknowledged that pre sing has never been Ronaldos forte,hinting he may have made too many compromises on his coaching style during his time in charge.Cristiano Ronaldo, and Im not blaming him at all, he did great in those games. But hes not a pre sing monster, Rangnick told a pre s conference ahead of the trip to Palace.Hes not a player, even when he was a young Jarrod Uthoff Jersey player, who was crying, shouting, hooray, the other team has got the ball, where can we win balls?The same with quite a few other players, so we had to make some compromises at one stage, maybe we made a few too many thats also po sible. Rangnick has also been critical of Uniteds lack of January transfer activity in the past, revealingthis month that the clubs board overruled his desire to sign another striker in January.Earlier this month, the former RB Leipzig bo s said: I spoke to the board and Zion Williamson Jersey said:shouldnt we at least speak and try and analyse if we could get a player either on loan or as a permanent deal?But in the end the answer was no.However, as Rangnick prepares to make way for Ajax bo s Erik ten Hag, he rea sured Uniteds fanbase that they can expect arrivals in the upcoming transfer window.We spoke about the last transfer window in January where we and the board decided not to sign any players, but this is different now, Rangnick added.In this summer window there will be some New Orleans Pelicans Hats new players and Erik will also have some influence on which kind of player he wants.That will happen in this window and hopefully the next two windows, and I think its obvious to everybody, for the owners, the board, and every supporter, we need to increase and raise the level of quality within the squad.
