Fred’s Goal Hands Rangnick First Manchester United Victory Against Crystal Palace

Ralf Rangnick began his Manchester United reign albeit on interim basis with a slim 1-0 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The victory lifts the Red Devils to the sixth place in the English Premier League table, one point adrift of Tottenham Hotspur who also won their game against bottom side Norwich City.

The much maligned Fred was the match winner, the midfielder firing home a 78th minute shot following his promising end to the narrow Arsenal win on Thursday even though he was at fault for the first of Arsenal’s two goals.

Rangnick will be in charge at the Theatre of Dreams for the rest of the season before taking up the role of Consultant for two years.

Prior to the arrival of the German, United were under the interim reins of former midfielder Michael Carrick who steered them to two League wins, draw and another win in the UEFA Champions League against Villarreal.
