In this round of the Premier League, Manchester United struggled to beat the bottom-ranked Norwich side 3-2 at Old Trafford.
In this game, Cristiano Ronaldo once again played the role of the Red Devils' "savior", the Portuguese striker used a hat-trick to help Manchester United win by 1 goal, thus ending the team's embarrassing record of not winning in the past 2 league rounds.
United took advantage of Arsenal and Tottenham's successive points conceded to take another solid step towards fourth place in the Premier League.
In this campaign, Lonnick's Manchester United have been trying to control the situation on the field, and when they wasted a two-goal lead in the second half, many fans felt that this time Manchester United might lose points at home again.
Cristiano Ronaldo's two goals helped United take a 2-0 lead over Norwich, after which canary goals from Kieran Deauville and Temu Puki before halftime allowed the visiting team to equalize at Old Trafford.
Just when United looked to be tied by their opponents, Ronaldo kicked a free kick from close range with just 15 minutes left in the game, completing another hat-trick of his own while helping United score all three points at home.
After the match, Manchester United's interim manager Ronnick praised Cristiano Ronaldo and talked about the Portuguese superstar's future at Manchester United. At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Ronnick whether C Ronaldo still had his place at Manchester United after his successor Tenhag took office at Manchester United.
In this regard, Ronnick said that Ronaldo is a great player, and he believes that if Ronaldo is willing, he can continue to stay at Manchester United. Of course, this also depends on how C Luo communicates with Tenhag.
In addition, Paul Pogba was taunted by some Manchester United fans after being replaced in this game. In this game, in the absence of Fred and Scott McTominay, Pogba returned to the back.
Some United fans were very unhappy with Pogba's performance in this match, and when the French midfielder was replaced, some fans present chanted "Pogba, get out!" And when Pogba walked back to the players' tunnel after the game, he was also ridiculed by some Manchester United fans.
Asked by reporters about the matter, Lonnick said: "To be honest, I didn't hear (fans insulting Pogba), but we talked to staff in my office and in the dressing room and I think the Fans at Manchester United are amazing, I really think so.
I can totally understand why the fans would be frustrated and disappointed in us, as far as I know, things are not as bad as you think. I don't think it makes sense to take or target any individual or player. If so, it's the responsibility of our entire team. While a lot of people have been talking about our performance in the last 2 league rounds, it really doesn't make any sense! "
Asked by reporters what he thought of Pogba's act of covering his ears, Rangnick said: "I didn't see it, I heard it. It was probably his reaction to the shouts from the fans, and I don't think he wanted to do that in the first place. I don't think it makes sense for fans to do this to individual players. ”
According to statistics, after Manchester United lost 1-0 at home to Everton in the last round of the Premier League, Lonnick has only won eight of his 17 games in charge, making him the worst winning manager in Manchester United's history.
