Manchester United's season seems virtually over after a 3-1 loss to Arsenal, which now sees them six points adrift of fourth. The Gunners and Tottenham both have a game in hand so it seems highly unlikely they will close the gap before the end of the season.
With the defeat coming straight after United's 4-0 loss to Liverpool, questions have been raised about the state of the defence. Harry Maguire has been blamed by many fans as the main reason for the team's struggles this season, but Ralf Rangnick chose to drop him to the bench on Saturday — meaning that when the same errors arose against Arsenal, new conclusions had to be drawn.
Rangnick said after the game: “I said we were at least unlucky with those three or four moments, but again we have to get better at defending in the box. The way we did that until five, six weeks ago we were on a higher level.
