Manchester United and Erik ten Hag have received praise from an unlikely source this week.

The Red Devils earned plaudits from ex-interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who is now in charge of Austria.

Rangnick referred to the work that ten Hag has done with January loan signing Marcel Sabitzer.

The 64-year-old told Laola1: “He [Sabitzer] has a lot more confidence than when he was at Bayern (Munich).

“Nobody dropped out in this game, but of course you can say that 'Sabi' was the difference player after scoring two goals and preparing one."
