Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has insisted that he was pleased with his team's overall performance in Friday's FA Cup clash with Middlesbrough.

The Red Devils dominated the contest for long spells but were held to a 1-1 draw after extra-time before losing to the Championship side on penalties.

Rangnick has said that he was happy with the display against Chris Wilder's side but has accepted that the 20-time English champions need to show an improvement in certain areas.

"I don't know (is an overhaul needed?). I don't think so. Overall, the development of the team and performances over the last couple of weeks have improved. There are two points of criticism that we all have to face. One: we wasted too many clear-cut chances, 22 shots inside the box, 10 were massive opportunities and we should easily have been 3-0 up at HT. It should have been 6-1 or 6-2," Rangnick told reporters.

"And the other one was 10 secs before we conceded the goal, it was a perfect counter-pressing situation inside their half, we took away time but not the ball away from them and eight seconds later we were outnumbered in our box, it was a handball goal and I'm still convinced this goal should have been disallowed, but we shouldn't have allowed this situation.

"Those are the two things I fault with the team. We invested a week into the game plan and many of those things have been confirmed by the team and were shown on the pitch against Middlesbrough."

Man United will be bidding to return to winning ways when they travel to Turf Moor on Tuesday evening to take on Burnley in the Premier League.
