With one arm around the neck of Cristiano Ronaldo, all of Norwich City’s good work was undone. Penalty to Manchester United and, of course, you-know-who proceeded to bury it.
This wasn’t a classic Premier League performance by United. Nor was it the type Ralf Rangnick will have wanted to see against a makeshift Norwich defence that lost its captain to injury and included a midfielder doing his best impression of a centre back.
Rangnick, wearing a club-branded cap à la Jurgen Klopp, paced in his technical area for much of this match. If he owns a hairdryer, he will have used it at half time after a substandard 45 minutes which included Marcus Rashford continuing to not look the same since his injury.
