Rangnick to change formation to get Sancho firing

Ralf Rangnick, Manchester United’s interim manager, is willing to abandon his preferred system in order to turn around his team’s terrible form and get Jadon Sancho firing.

The German will abandon his 4-2-2-2 formation in favor of a 4-3-3 formation.

Rangnick to change formation to get Sancho firing

United are now seventh in the Premier League table after a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa on Saturday. They have only one win in their last four games.

Sancho was limited to a cameo appearance at Villa Park, and the struggling England international has only scored twice since his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

Rangnick acknowledges that the 4-2-2-2 system hasn’t suited him well.

He has now opted to play a 4-3-3 formation, similar to what they used against Aston Villa, with one player holding the six, two eights, and three offensive players.

He said it is apparent in a 4-3-3 that he (Sancho) is a guy who can play both left and right-wing in a 4-3-3.

Rangnick said before United’s trip to Brentford on Wednesday night that Sancho would like a little bit of the left side because then he can switch inside and shoot on goal with his strong right foot.

Sancho will be better suited to a formation that favors natural wingers than the 4-2-2-2 system, which had him playing as an attacking midfielder.
