Rangnick to change formation to get Sancho firing
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Ralf Rangnick, Manchester United&#8217;s interim manager, is willing to abandon his preferred system in order to turn around his team&#8217;s terrible form and get Jadon Sancho firing</span><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">.</span></strong></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The German will abandon his 4-2-2-2 formation in favor of a 4-3-3 formation.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Rangnick acknowledges that the 4-2-2-2 system hasn&#8217;t suited him well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Rangnick said before United&#8217;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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></p>
