Boro caretaker boss Steve Agnew confident of Premier League survival

Middlesbrough caretaker boss Steve Agnew says he is a "creative coach" and has a "clear view" of how to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Agnew, 51, took charge after Aitor Karanka was sacked on Thursday.

Boro are currently 19th, three points from safety with 11 games remaining, as they host Manchester United at the Riverside on Sunday.

"I'm capable of drip-feeding ideas into the group that will pay dividends," said Agnew.

Boro are winless in their last 10 Premier League games and are the league's lowest scorers with just 19 goals.
