Breaking news: Rangnick impressed with United in 3-1 win: "That was our best performance" As he gives credit to a young star who is the man after his heart .

 Reaction from Manchester United's Ralf

 Rangnick after his side beat Burnley 3-1 

in the Premier league on Thursday - their 

biggest win under their recently hired manager.

"Well, I would say offensively, yes, defensively, 

whenever we had the ball in their half, we 

made a lot of those things that we had intended

 to do. Finding the right spots, the right places

, the right spaces, taking on players in one 

on one situations. After the first goal we 

scored, we had control on the game in the

 first half, but then we gave away one goal. 

So, whenever the ball was in our half, 

there is still some space for improvement.

 But offensively I agree that was so far the

 best performance."

Cristiano Ronaldo, Scott McTominay and 

Edinson Cavani were singled out for praise

 by Rangnick whose United side were under

 pressure to perform after a disappointing 

1-1 draw with Newcastle United on Monday

. His stars duly obliged with three goals 

inside 31 first-half minutes.

"I mean, we only decided this afternoon 

at two o'clock that he will play because 

he still had some problems with his ankle,

 the confusing injury that he suffered at 

Newcastle, so it was good to have him 

available and in the team. At halftime our

 team doctor told me that he will 

be struggling in the second half with regard

 to the pain level of pain. So it was very 

important to have him in the team and in 

the end he could play for the whole 92/

93 minutes. Very important player for 

us today."

McTominay scored the opener from 

the edge of the box, Jadon Sancho's strike

 went in off Ben Mee for United's second, 

and Ronaldo added a third, in what 

Ragnick  said was their best performance 

since his arrival at the club.

"Yes, but it's still important to have those

 two players on board and the work ethic

 that they showed, both of them showed 

today, together with the Mason (Greenwood

) and Jadon (Sacho) was highly important

. They had to do a lot of negative runs. I 

mean, just for the team to make sure that 

we keep them as away as often as possible

 from our own 

box. This had to start with the four up 

front. We had probably the most offensive

 possible formation today. And therefore it's

 important if you play with such an offensive

 formation and line up, they work together 

defensively and that they have a defensive

 work ethic. That was the case with both 

of them, Cristiano (Ronaldo), and Edi (

Edinson Cavani ). They did a lot for the

 team against the ball today."

United are now up to sixth in the table 

after their third win in four Premier League

 games under Rangnick.
