Ralf Rangnick

"Right now, this is exactly what Manchester United needs and wants - to finish fourth in the league,"
Rangnick told his pre-match press conference ahead of his side's trip to Brighton this week.
"This is the highest possible achievement we can get. The Champions League, to proceed, [that is] not an easy one. [But] in the league, it's number four, that's what we have to achieve and what we're aiming at.
"I know what it takes for next season but it's not the time now to discuss this with everyone. My full focus is tomorrow, getting the best out of this season and then it's time to speak about the next steps for the next couple of years."
Rangnick has also talked about their next Champions League clash against
Atletico Madrid, insisting that sports psychologist Sascha Lense can help them convert their chances.
"If you are 1-0 up in the last couple of games, when you concede an equalizer, this also affects the mind of the players,"
he added
. "They are human beings, not robots.
"I spoke with Sascha about that and we speak to the players one by one and why we conceded the goal and what we should do to score a second or a third goal."
