Ralf Rangnick has admitted he has not made as much progress as he might have hoped in stamping his authority on Manchester United.

Despite being unbeaten in four games in all competitions since replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the Old Trafford helm on an interim basis, the highly-rated German coach has been frustrated in his efforts to implement his methods by the Covid-19 lay-off which saw his side not play for 16 days before Monday night's 1-1 Premier League draw at struggling Newcastle.
