Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick bemoaned his lack of attacking options after a 1-1 draw against Leicester City on Saturday badly damaged their hopes of securing Champions League football for next season. Kelechi Iheanacho put the visitors in front in the second half but although Fred equalised just three minutes later, neither side could find a winner. Rangnick's misfiring side are three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who have two games in hand, but the German interim manager said they would continue to fight for the top four even though it was an uphill task.
"In the last 15 minutes we tried to score a goal but in this game we did not score the late goal," he told Sky Sports. "We don't have the offensive players and even Jesse Lingard was feeling sick.
"As long as it (top four) is possible mathematically, it is possible. It is our job and duty to do our best to finish on the best possible note."
United are hunting for a new permanent manager, with Ajax boss Erik ten Hag emerging as a clear favourite, and the team's shortcomings were all too obvious against Brendan Rodgers' team.
