However, the second half was a different story, with City overpowering their opponents. In a 15-minute stretch, City controlled 92 percent of the ball, and the arrivals of Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford had little to no effect on Ralf Rangnick's squad. Riyad Mahrez, who scored twice in the second 45, was the hero of the second 45. The first goal was a screamer as he converted a corner to put the visitors out of reach, and he added a second in the final stages of the match after a VAR review.
Ralf Rangnick, interim manager of Manchester United, tells Sky Sports: "I believe we played a competent, if not excellent, first half. We were adversarial. It's challenging to allow an early goal. We fought back, scored a fantastic goal of our own, and then surrendered another goal on the counter-attack. It was a challenging contest against one of the world's finest teams. In the last minute of the game, we surrendered a fourth goal. It's a challenging game that demonstrates how far we still have to go to close that deficit." It was effective. For us, it was obvious that if we had a chance to win the game, we needed to run a lot. You have to be aggressive and search for the ball, which we did in the first half. In the end, the third goal proved fatal.
