Rangnick explains his side’s performance against Watford

Manchester United sees lack of sharpness as their weakness in their draw against Watford.

The

Red Devils

had a good performance against

Watford

, but they failed to find the net in the game that ended in a goalless draw, and their boss

Ralf Rangnick

says that lack of sharpness was the reason they failed to leave the match with a victory.

Manchester United was the dominating side throughout the game, but they wasted all their opportunities which concerned their boss.

"We did everything apart from score. It's hard to take that result,"

Rangnick told Match of the Day

.

"In the end, if you miss that many chances it is difficult to win the game. We were in full control for almost the whole game, we didn't allow them hardly any counter-attacks.

"We need to be sharper in front of goal, you can hardly create more chances than we did today. In the end it is a very frustrating afternoon.

"Had anyone told me that we would create that many clear chances I would have said 'yes, that is enough for us to score one of two goals at least'. But we didn't."

Ronaldo

missed their biggest opportunity hitting the bar in the early minutes of the game, and after being lucky at the beginning of the game, Watford made sure that the Red Devils stayed away from their goal for the rest of the match.

On Ronaldo's opportunity, Rangnick added:

"That was not the only one [chance]. In the first half we had five massive chances then in the second half we had another three or four. Today we had enough chances to win that game.

"Sometimes we are unlucky, when we hit the post, but we also had a few opportunities one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

"This is not luck, it is a question of sharpness and efficiency in front of goal."
