Revealed: what Ragnick said to Ronaldo after the match ,will Ronaldo be starting his games again ?

 Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick 

was shocked by Fred's winner and impressed

 with the ground Cristiano Ronaldo covered

 against Palace.




Ralf Rangnick praised Cristiano Ronaldo's


 work-rate and admitted he was surprised 


by Fred's match-winning strike after Manchester


 United beat Crystal Palace in his first game


 in charge.



United looked set to be held to a frustrating


 and goalless Premier League draw until


 Fred picked out the far corner of the net 


with a sweet right-footed strike after 77 


minutes at Old Trafford on Sunday.



The Red Devils had swarmed all over the


 Eagles in the first half with an intense 


high-press approach that interim manager 


Rangnick will demand during his tenure.



They struggled to break down a well-drilled


 Palace though, until Fred came up with 


the only goal of the game, the 1-0 win 


moving United up to sixth – three points 


behind fourth-placed West Ham.



'Exceptional pressing' from United


Questions have been asked over whether 


Ronaldo would put in the sort of shift 


Rangnick will expect off the ball, but the 


German doffed his cap to the prolific forward


 as he delivered his verdict on United's 


performance.



"I am very happy with the way the team 


performed, especially the first half-hour, 


with the pressing, it was exceptional. 


The only thing missing was the 1-0 or 2-0,"


 Rangnick told the BBC's Match of the Day.



"The way we defended, we had control of 


the whole game, the clean sheet was 


the most important part. These are the 


things we must improve. We need to keep 


clean sheets. With just the one training session


, I was really impressed. We did much 


better than expected.



"We always tried to be on the front foot. 


We were never not, apart from maybe the


 last five minutes. At all other times we 


were trying to keep them away from our 


goal.



"We wanted to play with two strikers, 


especially in the central position. By the


 way, Cristiano Ronaldo's work off the ball, 


chapeau."



Fred the match winner


Rangnick had to be patient for the first


 goal of his tenure and he raised eyebrows


 over Fred's decisive strike.



"I had to ask my assistant coach if that 


was Fred's right foot. I thought he could 


only shoot with his left. I'm happy for him,


" Rangnick said.



"It's always easier to build on things after


 you're successful. We must produce further


 clean sheets and get better at creating 


chances for our attack. Overall I was very 


pleased with the way we played today."
