Liverpool beat MU 4-0 at Anfield last night to temporarily rise to the top of the Premier League rankings. This victory also makes MU fall back to 6th place, they are still equal on points Arsenal but it’s already 4 units of difference, not to mention Arsenal still have 2 matches to play.

Liverpool have another big win against MU

This bold defeat left the players and head coach Ralf Rangnick inexcusable and after the game they expressed disappointment that the possibility of winning the top 4 was increasingly remote. Fernandes in the interview even said MU is fighting “for nothing”.

“Liverpool are fighting for the title, that’s the difference. We’re not fighting anything, the top 4 is out of reach. Now is the time to look at yourself, from top to bottom, to see where you went wrong. I think apologizing to the fans will not be enough, we have to pick ourselves up and fight to the end instead of giving up,” said Fernandes.

“I don’t think the players don’t try, everyone runs, everyone gives 100 per cent. But we can’t afford to win points in this match, and now it’s time to look back at the mistakes to analyze and fix. This match is over and now we have to worry about the next one.”

Meanwhile, coach Rangnick did not say less when looking at this defeat. “It’s really embarrassing, disappointing, even humiliating,” Rangnick told the BBC. “We have to accept the fact that they were six years ahead of us, when Jurgen Klopp came to Liverpool he changed the club to a whole new level. That’s what needs to happen to us in the coming transfer windows.”

Rangnick then emphasized that even if he did not play with a five-back formation like at the beginning of the game, that would not guarantee a more positive outcome for MU. “The other scheme wouldn’t make any difference, the first goal should not have happened because no one wants to go so high and then concede a goal from a counter attack after only 5 minutes of play. And we didn’t win a lot of 1st or 2nd balls either,” he explained.

Rangnick said there will be a force revolution at MU this summer

The German strategist also frankly told reporters that a revolution would have to happen in Old Trafford to expel unsatisfactory players. “Six, seven or maybe even 10 new players will come. Liverpool have better players than us and it’s reflected in the results. A reconstruction was definitely needed, which became evident just a month after I arrived at the club. It’s a shame that me and the coaching staff can only sit here and admit that the opponent is better than us,” Rangnick shared.
