Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick admits that finishing in the top four and winning the FA Cup would be a very successful interim tenure.

The German is in charge at the Red Devils until the end of the season, and may then move into a consultancy role for two years.

Asked during a UEFA Champions League pre-match press conference, ahead of United's game against Young Boys on Wednesday, Rangnick laid outs his expectations and targets for the rest of the term.

He told reporters: "For me, success can only be achieved with development, developing the team, this is the result of development. If we can develop the team in the next six months in the way that I can see them play [I think that will be a success].

"I think quite a few things, you could already see last Sunday knowing it was only one game and the first game. It showed how the team could defend if they worked together as a team. And obviously, there is still space for improvement. Not everything has been perfect in that game, we can still improve, in possession of the ball we can create more chances, we can be more flexible on the ball, we can play more vertical on the ball.

"We spoke about that in the first press conference, if you look at the amount of goals we conceded until last Sunday and I heard today it was the first clean sheet at Old Trafford since April.

"Six months, no clean sheet in your own stadium, for me it was clear where the priorities should be and how we should develop the team in the next couple of weeks.

"I'm also aware that in the end to be successful, it hopefully means playing in the Champions League next season, and being successful in the Champions League and the FA Cup.

"We didn't get the easiest draw in the FA Cup to be honest against Aston Villa, we now play them two times in one week. It's one of three direct Premier League duels in the FA Cup, so there were a few easier draws possible but in the end it's like another Premier League game and this is exactly how we will approach this game."
