Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick says they're coughing up possession too easily in games.

Rangnick admits it's proving a big concern for he and his staff.

He said, "Yes, I still think that is one of the biggest issues, we lose too many balls in transition when we have possession of the ball and make those wrong decisions. It is one of the things that worries me the most, I'll be honest.

"We had quite a few situations on Monday where we had 3 v 3 and in the game before that against Wolves too. We have to learn to make the right decisions and stay calm on the ball, not play the ball too soon, too early. Those are the exact moments where we need to improve and be better. In total, as I said, the team is willing to develop, to work hard on those things.

"Defending the ball we have been better, but it's not as easy as that right now to score goals against it. On the other hand we must make sure we are better when in possession of the ball. We can't allow large numbers of giveaways with the ball and we must learn to make the right decision and not rush the pass. These are the moments we must be better in for the future."
