Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has admitted that their fixture against Chelsea being moved forward is “not good” as the German coach didn’t think it could happen. It comes as the fixture was moved from Sunday, May 15 to Thursday, April 28.
The Premier League clash was set to be the penultimate game of the season, but with the Blues booking their place in the FA Cup final the day before, it forced a change of plans. There they will face Liverpool in a repeat of this season’s Carabao Cup final, where Thomas Tuchel’s men lost out on penalties.
Discussing the clash with the Merseyside outfit, the manager said in his post-match press conference: “I don't care about their other titles. We lost, of course, the final. We gave everything in that final as you know, it was a big match that went until the very last penalty. Of course, we were unlucky and lost it. We want to turn things around. It will not give us the Carabao Cup title back but we are here and were here last season in the FA Cup final and that means an unbelievable lot to us.”
