Manchester United fixture against Burnley will show how team have improved at set-pieces

This has been a problem for United throughout the season, but when Ralf Rangnick came through the door, a quote in an interview he gave with Coaches Voice came to the fore.

He said: "30% of all goals are scored either on or straight after a set-piece, so, as coaches, you need to be alert to that, and as 30% of all goals are scored in this manner, I commit 30% of my training to set-pieces."
