Rangnick admits Arsenal are favorites to claim Champions League spot ahead of Spurs clash
Ralf Rangnick admits Arsenal are favorites to secure Champions League football this season ahead of Manchester United’s must-see clash with Tottenham.
United take on Spurs in the Premier League tomorrow night in a match neither team can afford to lose in the race for the top four.
Last weekend’s 4-1 loss to Manchester City leaves the Red Devils fifth in the division, one point behind Arsenal despite playing three more games than the Gunners.
Spurs, meanwhile, are still two points behind after beating Everton 5-0 on Monday night and Rangnick says his side are “fully aware of the significance” of tomorrow’s clash at Old Trafford.
“We are fully aware of the importance of tomorrow,” he said in his pre-match press conference. “We have to win this game, fully aware of that. We had a good week of training.
Rangnick conceded Arsenal were now favorites to seal a fourth place finish and Champions League football, with the Gunners on a four-game winning streak.
The German says his side can ill afford further slip-ups if the Red Devils catch up with the north Londoners and secure Champions League qualification.
“Yeah, but not just us, it’s the same with two or three other clubs. They (Arsenal) seem to be in the best possible position but there are still 10 games to go.
“We are fully aware that we have to take care of ourselves and not lose any more points.”
