On the possibility that the Portuguese will continue at Old Trafford, the German said that the decision does not depend on him: "It is a decision of Eric (Tan the brother) and Cristiano as to what will happen next, but today he played great."

On the ability of his team, Rangnick said: "We have problems in defense. We are not standing well enough and not aggressive enough. However, although it was a draw with a lot of luck, I think the point came to us. Sometimes we saw the gaps between the two teams, but they played With their best 11 and we are on the missing lineup. "

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel said at the end: "We had to come out with three points. We played very well without the ball and showed great ability, but we were not determined enough and maybe we also needed a bit more luck. It happened to us a little too many times this season. "We showed a clear superiority over the rivalry. It happened to us especially in the first part of the season. We had to win here."
