With a host of clubs stretched thin, United knew they could not afford slip-ups at this critical stage of the season, but were trailing at half-time in the capital, thanks to Charlie Austin’s header.
But a more intense display from United in the second half blew away Rangers, with Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Robinson and substitute Conor Hourihane putting their names on the scoresheet to let United’s fate rest in their hands.
“They went up a level in the second half and had real quality about them,” Warburton said.
“We gave away the ball cheaply, they came into the game and watched the better team.
“In the second half we wanted to take care of the football and we didn’t. They went up a level and we didn’t match that.
“We had to take care of the ball but we were reckless and went too easily. They raised the bar and we didn’t match it. We are professionals and every time you put on a jersey in front of your fans, you have a responsibility to be the best you can be.
For Warburton it was defeat in his last game in charge of QPR at home before he left in the summer, and he received a warm welcome from the club’s fans before kick-off.
“It meant a lot,” he said. “It’s not about ego or any of that nonsense; the fans were very supportive, and it was a real thank you for their support.
