Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has used Arsenal and Tottenham’s positions in the Premier League table to deflect from the Red Devils’ own struggles of late. Southampton restricted United to their third successive 1-1 draw on Saturday, and Rangnick could be in for another tough assignment when they host Brighton at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening. Against Middlesbrough, Burnley and Southampton, United scored first before going on to draw all three games. Fans and pundits have questioned the intensity of United’s players, particularly in the second-half when drop-offs have been noticeable. But Rangnick was reluctant to blame the players on Monday, pointing out that Arsenal and Spurs are in a similar position as all three of them may have hoped to be in a healthier spot regarding their top-four hunt.
