Five Manchester United players who amazed Ralf Rangnick will be discussed in this article. Some of the names that will be reviewed previously rarely get in the main place, while others manage to play impressively.
Rangnick since making his debut as Man United coach managed to make an instant impact on the Red Devils against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Man United’s game looks to be more aggressive, especially when pressing.
The German coach made several changes by replacing players who previously always started. Rangnick also gave instructions so that Man United’s midfield looks very different to the 4-2-2-2 system:
5. Diogo Dalot
The name of this one player was previously often a resident of the bench. Diogo Dalot is often played in matches that are considered less important to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
However, since Rangnick trained, Dalot was immediately installed from the early minutes. His appearance is so impressive. The Portuguese player was able to provide assistance when Man United attacked from the right sector.
This is rarely shown by Wan-Bissaka when he is competing. The English defender is more capable when defending, but struggles to help attack. Bissaka also lost in terms of crosses from Dalot.
4. Scott McTominay
The Man United academy dropout is said to have always been a mainstay in midfield. Scott McTominay is quite good at intercepting. It’s just that the performance is sometimes unstable.
However, when Man United faced Crystal Palace, McTominay played more effectively. He is able to block the movement and flow of the opponent’s ball. Rangnick’s system made the Scottish player appear better in guarding his territory.
3. Fred
Like McTominay, Fred also performed better when Rangnick used the Red Devils. The Fred-McTominay duo in the match against Palace played very well. Both managed to suppress the opposing players, so that the opponent was difficult to get out of the middle area of Man United. Fred played even better. He was able to score the only goal to give Man United victory. Rangncik called the Brazilian player a ray of sunshine.
2. Jadon Sancho
This name is certainly well known to Rangnick. Sancho, who played for German club Borussia Dortmund, faced RB Leipzig, Rangnick’s former club in 2018-2019.
Rangnick’s knowledge of Sancho’s ability will certainly be a consideration for him to play the English player.
Moreover, Sancho’s performance is quite slick in the last few games for Man United. Sancho has so far scored twice for Man United. The details are one goal in the Champions League and another in the Premier League.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo
This Portuguese superstar was initially reported to have doubts from Rangnick. Factor is already 36 years old, being the boss of the Red Devils is thinking about benching Cristiano Ronaldo.
It’s just that CR7-Cristiano Ronaldo’s nickname–provided a charming game when Man United won 3-2 over Arsenal. In that match, Ronaldo scored two goals, which made Rangnick throw praise on his team.
In the next match, Rangnick played Ronaldo from the early minutes. Even though he didn’t score, Ronaldo seemed able to adapt to Rangnick’s system, which liked his players pressing.
