Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick apologises for ‘humiliating’ and ‘unacceptable’ 4-0 defeat at Brighton
- United players subjected to chants of ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ from their own fans at Amex Stadium
- ‘I’m still very positive that with Erik ten Hag we have a top manager next season,’ says interim boss Rangnick
Ralf Rangnick apologised to Manchester United’s supporters and branded Saturday’s 4-0 Premier League thrashing at Brighton “humiliating” and “unacceptable”.
United’s players were subjected to chants of “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” from their own fans as they were outclassed and outfought on a remarkable evening at the Amex Stadium.
A chastening defeat on the south coast ensured the 20-time English champions will finish with their lowest points tally of the Premier League era and extinguished slender hopes of Champions League qualification.
“To start with, it’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton,” said interim manager Rangnick.
“We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.
