Ralf Rangnick discusses Paul Pogba fasting before Liverpool v Man Utd

In a press conference with journalists at Carrington, Rangnick was asked whether provisions are in place for Paul to take on food and drink if the sun goes down during the game in Merseyside (before half-time, for example). 

“No, no,” replied Ralf. “As a player and as a professional, he’s used to that and he knows how to handle that and to deal with that. Actually, I haven’t spoken with him about that but I don’t think this will affect his game and his performance.

“As far as I know, he is fasting but, as I said, I haven’t spoken about that with him in person. But I’ve had quite a few other players [who fast]. I also know at least one player of Liverpool, he used to be my player, who is also doing the fasting. Ibrahim Konate, so he would also have the same problem.”
