United stormed into a 3-0 lead against Burnley inside 35 minutes on Thursday night and although Aaron Lennon pulled one back for the visitors, United are now four points off fourth-placed Arsenal with a game in hand.

In a post-match interview with Amazon, Scott McTominay said Rangnick had laid down the law to the United players about their poor body language against Newcastle. Sky Sports' Gary Neville had called them "whingebags".

Rangnick's intervention had the desired effect - and the interim boss explained why it matters so much.

"In team sports, it's always important that you're convinced about what you're doing," he said. "At Newcastle, it was a difficult game for us, we were 1-0 down after seven minutes, and they did well.

"We didn't play well, especially in the first half at Newcastle and the reaction to what's happening on the pitch is the question. Do we fight back? Do we show them we're still a team and we believe in ourselves? Or do we shake heads?

"These kind of things only help the other team and do damage to our own team. For me it was clear to tell them, 'listen, we behave and work as a team and don't show these kind of side effects on the pitch'."
