Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick insists they showed improvement in defeat at Arsenal today.
Nuno Tavares, Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka all struck for the Gunners, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring for the visitors. Bruno Fernandes also missed a penalty for United.
Rangnick said, "I think we showed an improved performance but in the end a disappointing result. I think we bounced back well from the early goal and had numerous chances in both halves to score more goals.
"I thought the weak part of our performance today was we didn't defend well inside and around our box. I felt there were three very unlucky VAR decisions. For me the Arsenal third was clearly offside. The second of Cristiano was not offside. We were not very happy with the VAR decisions today. An improved display but a disappointing result."
On the missed penalty, he added: "It would have helped us a lot of that had been the equaliser and probably would have changed the whole game. In the end, very unlucky for us."
On what would Erik ten Hag be thinking, Rangnick concluded: "There is a lot of work for sure. We knew that before the game. We showed what football we can play. Although we had to deal with the two early goals we still showed the attitude. There is nothing about the attitude of the players we should fault today."
