• Rangnick says he ‘speaks regularly’ with Sascha Lense
• United have surrendered leads in three successive matches
Ralf Rangnick has turned to his sports psychologist Sascha Lense to try to rebuild Manchester United’s confidence and end their habits of losing leads. United have drawn 1-1 in their past three games, all after scoring first and having an advantage at the break, resulting in the loss of four points and their elimination from the FA Cup. In Rangnick’s brief reign, they have drawn five times after being ahead and the interim manager accepted their belief has suffered.
He brought in Lense, who had worked with him at RB Leipzig, to address the mental side of the game and has turned to an old ally to address his players, ndividually and as a squad, in an attempt to make United more resilient.
