‘Yes, I think the fixture list while he’s been there has been quite favourable to Man United, but only Man City have picked up more points since he’s come in.
‘So he can’t be doing as badly as the way it’s spoken about in the media. In terms of points, you have to say he’s a pass at the moment.
‘Everyone’s saying Liverpool are flying and oh my god it’s championship winning form, they haven’t had as many points in the bag as Rangnick in his term since he’s been here.

‘I understand there’s still elements in the way that his team are playing that aren’t fine-tuned, there’s massive room for improvement all-round, I understand that.
‘But in terms of the points on the table, what are you asking for?
‘I don’t think he’s going to get the job as the manager anyway, but he’s got big games coming up now, Man City, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, so he’s going to have to produce in those games, and he’ll be judged via those games I’m sure.
‘But in terms of points, only Man City have got more points than him in that time.’
