Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick returned to a press conference on the whistles suffered by Paul Pogba on Saturday against Norwich City (3-2, 33rd day of the Premier League).
The German technician took the defense of the French midfielder, replaced in the 74th minute under the bronca of the public of Old Trafford. “I didn’t hear the boos myself, but we were talking about it with my staff in my office, in the locker room. I think the fans are amazing. I really think so. And the support in the stadium today was great again. Couldn’t have been better. I fully understand that fans are frustrated and disappointed. We are too. Things remained peaceful the entire time. I don’t think it makes sense to go after and target a person or a player because if it does it’s a collective responsibility and if you look into the past, to me it doesn’t makes no sense. And that’s why I will always defend and protect my players. In the first half, Paul was good with the ball. It wasn’t his best possible position. I see it more as an eight, but without having any of our sixes available, in a game where we had to win, I had to choose.
