Matic claims Rangnick already impacting Man Utd players

Nemanja Matic has said Ralf Rangnick's impact is already being felt at Manchester United.

The German won his first match as interim manager on Saturday as United downed Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Speaking before Wednesday's Champions League clash with Young Boys, Matic was asked about Rangnick's impact since his arrival.

"Every manager has his ideas, of course, and we always try to adapt and to understand as soon as possible his ideas," Matic said.

"I think that everyone saw a bit of his idea in the last game against Crystal Palace. Of high pressing, of that organisation, when we defend, and when we attack, of course.

"Obviously, we were training with him only a couple of days and we didn't have time to understand more of this but we could see in the last couple of days the way we want to play and I'm sure in the future the team will play more in his way and as I said, after a couple of days it's very difficult but I'm sure step by step, everyone will see his ideas on the pitch because we still have to understand everything that he wants from us."
