Manchester Unitev Vs Norwich At Old Trafford, Ralf Rangnick: No Alibi, No More Excuses!
JAKARTA - Manchester United will host Norwich City in the 33rd week of the 2021/2022 Premier League. This match will be held at Old Trafford Stadium on Saturday, April 16, at 21.00 WIB.
Manchester United manager, Ralf Rangnick insists, victory is mandatory for his team. There are no more alibis for a draw or even a loss.
"Again, no alibis, no excuses, we have to be ready to face Norwich," Rangnick said.
"For sure I'm fully aware of that, and I'm also sure and very confident that all the players know that we have to win," continued Rangnick.
The German manager is aware that the meeting with Norwich in tonight's match will be a mental test for his men. Despite the status of a bottom team, Norwich still cannot be underestimated.
"This is a test of character and mentality for the players. We are playing against the bottom team and we have to win," said Ralf Rangnick.
The 63-year-old also emphasized that his team had a target to finish the remaining seven matches in the Premier League this season with a win. This is in order to pursue the dream of appearing in European competition next season.
"Our job is to get the best out of those seven games, winning as many games as possible is the main target," explained the manager.
The Red Devils are in a slump. This can be seen from the position of the team which is stuck in seventh place in the 2021/2022 Premier League standings with a collection of 51 points.
The target of winning over Norwich tonight could also be a moment for MU to boost their position up to fifth in order to approach the Champions League zone next season.
