"We Didn't Develop A Certain Team Spirit.: Rangnick Highlights Man Utd Biggest Issue This Season

Rangnick said: “Since the Atletico game we didn't find our shape or our form again. This has to do with confidence, also mentality and team spirit.

“For me, the biggest disappointment is we didn't develop a certain team spirit. This is the biggest issue.

“Since Atletico, we have lost confidence and energy in the team. Until then we were more stable defensively. This development didn't happen stably."

With the dip in form, Manchester Utd has found itself in the sixth position in the league and is in danger of dropping into the Europa Conference if West Ham wins on the final day and United doesn't.

Rangnick said: “I think it is a big difference if a club like Manchester United plays in the Europa League rather than the Europa Conference League.

“You could see a club like Frankfurt who finished in the lower half of Bundesliga won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League and this should also be an incentive."

He added: “Hopefully if the board and Erik bring in players with the right mentality, I am positive we will be able to put this club not just on the right track but to the top.

“Maybe it will not happen in one transfer window but I am positive in the next two or three."
