Ralf Rangnick blasts ‘extremely embarrassing’ performance as Man United suffer historic drubbing
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick admitted Liverpool are on a ‘different level’ following their 4-0 defeat at Anfield.
The Red Devils looked helpless as goals from Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane and a brace from Mohamed Salah completed a comprehensive victory for Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp's men dominated proceedings from the very first whistle to continue their push for the Premier League title.
Following the loss, Rangnick admitted that a serious rebuild was needed at Old Trafford, saying: "I don't think they have mentally checked out, it is just a different level. [Liverpool] have better players than we have and this was really reflected by the result today.
The defeat leaves United three points away from fourth-placed Tottenham with just five games to go. To make matters worse, Spurs and Arsenal also have games in-hand.
One stat which encapsulates United's current state, is the fact their cumulative 9-0 defeat to Liverpool this season is their second-worst in history.
Next up for United is another tricky away clash against fellow top-four challengers Arsenal on Saturday, April 23.
