Ralf Rangnick heaped praise on Cristiano Ronaldo for his work off the ball during Manchester United's victory against Crystal Palace.
Much was made before the interim head coach's first game in charge about how the Portuguese would respond to his intense style of pressing.
However, the No 7 put in a shift as he started up top with Marcus Rashford in a 4-2-2-2 formation, leading from the front as United looked to put their opponents on the back foot.
So impressive was the defensive display, in fact, that United won the ball back 12 times in the final third.
