Football News : Rangnick hails rejuvenated Ronaldo after win over Brighton

Reaction from Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford on Tuesday after his side beat Brighton 2-0 and moved into the top four in the Premier Leaghue table.

Cristiano Ronaldo ended his six-game goal drought with a stunning individual goal to set United on their way and Bruno Fernandes added the second in the seventh minute of stoppage time, with virtually the last kick of the game.

United had failed to win any of their previous three games despite taking the lead each time - twice in the league, against Burnley and Southampton, and once in the FA Cup, when they ended up being eliminated by second-tier Middlesbrough.

United's cause was aided by visiting defender Lewis Dunk, who was sent of in the 54th minute, three minutes after Ronaldo's goal, for bringing down Anthony Elanga as the winger was set to get in on goal.

United move above West Ham and into the Champions League qualification positions, four points behind third-place Chelsea but having played one game more.
