Ralf Rangnick hailed Cristiano Ronaldo for scoring an "amazing" decisive goal as Manchester United returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Brighton on Tuesday night.
But the interim manager lamented his side's failure to "kill the game off" as his pre-match calls for United to show no mercy fell on deaf ears.
Ronaldo, 37, opened the scoring with a fine strike shortly after half-time and the Red Devils took control of the match following Lewis Dunk's sending off moments later for a challenge on Anthony Elanga.
