Premier League Club Set To Launch Bid for Impressive Brazil and Real Madrid Midfielder
FootballHow Man United Could Line up Vs Crystal Palace in Ralf Rangnick's First Match in Charge
- Ralf Rangnick will be kicking off his Premier League reign against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford
- It remains to be seen the kind of team the German could assemble for the fixture
- However, he is likely to stick with the same squad that stunned Arsenal 3-2 under Carrick
- Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba are both unavailable for selection due to injury
Man United vs Crystal Palace Premier League match will see Ralf Rangnick take charge of the Red Devils for the first time since he was appointed manager.
Rangnick had a chance of leading the Red Devils during their clash with Arsenal mid-last week but had no proper documentation at the time.
Michael Carrick, who had been named caretaker boss after the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stayed at the helm instead as Rangnick watched from the stands.
The match may have given the German tactician a glimpse of his dressing room and now has his work cut out as he prepares for his tenure in the Premier League against Crystal Palace.
Man United will miss the services of Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba through injury, while Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw remain major doubts.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka missed the Arsenal clash with a hand injury but could be back in contention.
On his part, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to feature despite appearing to have picked an injury against the Gunners.
All factors remaining constant, Rangnick could possibly retain the same squad that stunned Mikel Arteta's men at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Rangnick will be desperate to secure the three points against the Eagles as he looks to steer United back to the top four.
Possible Man United starting XI vs Arsenal:
Goalkeeper: De Gea
Defenders: Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles
Midfielders: McTominay, Fred, Fernandes
Forwards: Rashford, Sancho, Ronaldo
