The interim manager admitted he was “worried” about their chances of finishing in the top four but insisted Solskjaer was also partly responsible.
“[Tidak finis empat besar] It’s been a concern since Ole left this club,” Rangnick said ESPN.
“That seems to be one of the reasons why he had to leave this club and of course a result like this” [melawan Southampton] doesn’t make the job any easier.”

“This is what we have to face. We have to realize the truth, and a result like this doesn’t make finishing fourth any easier.”
