Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick criticises the finishing of his team following Saturday's 0-0 draw with Watford.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has shown his frustration at his side's inability to secure all three points against Watford on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils had 22 attempts during a dominant performance at Old Trafford but were unable to make the breakthrough, with the visitors claiming the share of the spoils in a goalless draw.

Man United remain fourth in the table, but Rangnick has admitted that the result is a damaging one ahead of three league fixtures against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.

"Well, it feels once again like two points dropped we should have easily won. We did everything apart from scoring, we had enough chances in both halves to win that game, but we didn't and, not for the first time, we dropped two points in a very important game," Rangnick told reporters.

"We had enough chances. In the first-half, we had four clear opportunities that normally are enough to score at least one or two goals and the second half was similar.

"In the end it's about efficiency, being clinical in front of goal, and this is not for the first time, unfortunately. Apart from that, we were in full control of the game, we dominated the game. In the last five minutes they had one or two transitional moments and apart from that, we dominated the game completely.

"Our job as coaches and head coaches is to help the team create enough chances. If we only had two or three opportunities in the game, we could ask ourselves what can we do to create more. But the number of clear chances we had today have to be enough to win a game like this."

The 20-time English champions, who have lost just once in the Premier League since Rangnick's arrival as interim head coach, are next in action away to champions Man City next weekend.
