Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick insists he and his staff have improved the players over their ten weeks together.
Rangnick was speaking ahead of today's clash with Southampton.
He said, "That's a good question and you have put that question in a very smart and clever way. I know what you're aiming at but I can only tell you what I've experienced in the last 10 weeks and I think the results so far in the league have been okay.
"I would even say they were good had we won at Burnley. And now it's about, as I said, getting also the results, not only improving with regards to the performance but also getting the results that we should have deserved. I think we all agree that we should have deserved to win both games but, in the end, it's not about deserving, it's about what you get and what you get out of the game. That the team has developed is obvious.
"I speak regularly to the players about how they feel after the game and how they felt on the pitch, and I know that the players realise how much they have developed and improved their performance, especially in possession of the ball when they control the game. As I said, now it's about taking the next step and getting the reward and also controlling at a higher level in the second half."
