Ralf Rangnick explains tactical change at half time after Brighton win
Donny van de Beek has reportedly made a decision on his Manchester United future after joining Everton on loan on transfer deadline day.

It comes as interim United boss Ralf Rangnick has been urged to drop Raphael Varane following his ‘terrible’ form for the club.
