Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick hails Cristiano Ronaldo for his display in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has lavished praise on Cristiano Ronaldo for his display in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.

Ronaldo scored his first goal since the end of December in the two-goal success, finding the back of the net with an impressive finish in the 51st minute of the clash at Old Trafford.

The 37-year-old was also heavily involved in a lot of Man United's attacking play throughout the evening, and Rangnick was keen to hail the Portuguese's overall contribution to the key victory.

"Yes, it was an amazing goal. Not only an important one but an amazing goal. Overall, it was also a good performance by Cristiano," Rangnick told reporters.

"Energetically, he was online, he was always trying to help the other teammates. I think, in the last weeks, that would be the best performance by him and very, very important for us."

The victory over Graham Potter's side moved the Red Devils back into fourth spot in the table, and they will be bidding to make it back-to-back wins when they travel to Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.
