Ralf Rangnick insisted any tactical aspect of Manchester United's first-half performance against Atletico Madrid was irrelevant as they were so poor.
Rangnick said after United's 1-1 draw he could still 'not believe' United played without conviction and aggression against the Spanish champions, who led through Joao Felix's seventh-minute header.
United's midfield imbalance was exposed by Atletico while the decision to start centre-back Victor Lindelof at right-back was not vindicated and the Swede was substituted midway through the second-half.
