Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick knew he was taking on a tough job at Old Trafford. The 1-0 home defeat by Wolves merely confirmed it.
After a result that left United in seventh spot, two points behind Tottenham, who have a game in hand, Rangnick was honest enough to admit that: "Looking at today's performance if I say we are 100% convinced we will finish in the top four, I don't know if people will believe that."
But the overall manner of United's performance was not far removed from the depressing end of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign, with the visitors dominating for long periods.
